Read moreA Gold Medal Wine Club Platinum Series. Acorn Winery’s 2005 Zinfandel showcases the winery’s passion for traditional field blends, by presenting a food-friendly wine that fully expresses the fruit characteristics of the diverse grape varieties grown in the Alegría Vineyards. This blend actually comprises twelve different varietals from the Sonoma County vineyard and the result is truly a masterpiece. Wine Enthusiast rates this wine 91 Points and raves, “Acorn has produced one of their best bottlings ever” and we couldn’t agree more. Highly Recommended by California Grapevine and a Gold Medal winner at the California State Fair, the 2005 Zinfandel is an excellent tribute to the winery’s old vines and traditional winemaking style. This dark beauty opens with seductive aromas of ripe blackberry, vanilla, and toasty oak. Smooth luscious layers of plum, black raspberry, cocoa, and spicy black pepper mingle with the essence of strawberry from the Carignane and Cinsault grapes. The Petite Sirah and Alicante provide subtle tannins and structure and add to the delicious, lingering flavors of dark fruits. 78% Zinfandel, 10% Alicante Bouschet, 10% Petite Sirah. The remaining 2% includes Carignane, Trousseau, Sangiovese, Petit Bouschet, Negrette, Syrah, Muscat Noir, Cinsault, and Grenache. Enjoy now until 2012.    (hide)

  Lost Canyon Winery Syrah Alegria Vineyard 2004

  Snoothrank:

  Very full at the front, with great bold and heavy flavors on the palate, but fails to deliver a sufficient finish and completeness that a Syrah at this price point should exhibit. Possible I didn't let it breathe long enough, but didn't show signs of rounding out at the end of the day.

Oak perfumes, sweet plum, black pepper, and mesquite aromas lead into a wine with a great rich mouthfeel and gentle acids. Focused red fruit flavors, violet, vanilla, coat the tongue while powdered spice (clove & cinnamon) tannins remain on the finish along with sparkling acids on the tongue. Its all there. I'd drink this wine again and again.    (hide)
