What to Expect

Zinfandel is considered America's own great indigenous grape, even though its origins lie on the Adriatic coast. Planted throughout California and the Pacific Northwest, Zinfandel is at its best in warm regions with cooler temperatures during harvest. The wines can range from off-dry Rosés, White Zinfandels, and light bistro styled wines, to big, rich powerful wines - even luscious wines for dessert bottling. The flavors range from plummy to raspberry, although deep blackberry fruit and brambly spice tones are most common.

Rating: 93/100 - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 114, May/June 2004 ($50) Dark medium ruby. Explosive aromas of black raspberry, game, truffle, smoked meat and roasted nuts. Dense, thick and superripe, with highly concentrated black raspberry and tarry flavors. Boasts an impressive core of liqueur-like fruits without coming across as particularly vibrant. A major mouthful of zinfandel, but more gamey and roasted than berry-driven.
