ACORN Heritage Vines Russian River 2007 Zinfandel, $29.99-$38.99, 90 points, sparkles with a dense crimson-purple color and has a beautiful aroma of black-tea and cinnamon. The flavor is brambles and plum, and finishes nicely with Tabasco spice. The wine is medium bodied and satin-like: very quaff-able, but the 14.8% alcohol is almost unnoticeable.
As with the 2006 ACORN ZIN, this is a good wine, though a bit pricey, but if you love Zin, then this is a must tasting.
Can't say I've had a Russian River wine I didn't like, but I'm sure there's one out there.
