The discussion of 'age-ability' of Zinfandel red wines comes up quite often, with the rule-of-thumb being that Zinfandel is better had young (1-5 years), but there are wonderful exceptions, as demonstrated by this 'vertical' Geyserville wine tasting. [Keep in mind the rules (temperature, humidity, lack of vibration, and darkness) of cellaring wine.]

Love your mini Zinfandel series. I really like Zins, I just wish they were lower in alcohol!
ReplyDeleteI don't even look at the abv when I'm buying, but if low alcohol Zins are what interest you then Primitivo is the way to go!
DeleteThanks for your "Love".
I try to NOT look at the alcohol, but just moderate consumption instead.
DeleteV-girl, moderate is good!
DeleteI thought, if you haven't tried Frog's Leap Zinfandel, usually fairly low in alcohol (2007-13.4%), that one would be a recommend from me.
I would be VERY interested in your review.
The Michael David 2007 "Lust" Zin was 16.9%, and maybe the worst Zin I've ever had, but was better with Zinful cuisine!
Thanks,
Dennis
I have never had much luck with any of the Michael David Zinfandels, they all just tasted hot and I would never bother buying one ever again. It's a long time since I have had a Frog's Leap Zin, maybe it's about time I do that. Did have a delightful 2003 Freemark Abbey Zin last week that was aging very well.
DeleteNice blog Vinogirl! One of the Zin producers I love is Dry Creek from Sonoma. I've posted about them regularly on my blog as they are typically what your state: a little more balanced, elegant, with less alcohol than many. I also recently enjoyed the 2009 Bianchi Family from Paso Robles. Have look and cheers!
