Zinfandel is a full-bodied red wine that goes well with grilled meat. It is primarily grown in California, although a few producers in Oregon, Mexico, and regions of South America also produce Zinfandel. Depending on the style of the vintner, the grape can also be made into sweet, Port-like dessert wines and complex sparkling wines.
