St. Francis Sonoma County "Old Vines" 2007 Zinfandel, $14.44-$21.99, 87 points, is dense magenta, strongly aromatic with clove, cinnamon, and cedar, and the flavor is not muted, not mum, vespers it is not, but fruit-forward with black-berries and plum, with hints of tart cherry wound in a medium body of rich tannin and a lush mouth-feel that carries well into the finish.
Well, good night "Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are."

Any hints of heat in this one Dennis?
ReplyDeleteNot much heat, Ben.
ReplyDeleteThough this is a "kicker", the alcohol is well integrated.
You'll be starting your own blog very soon;-) I told Ethan he was welcome to post his own reviews here, and so are you.
