Zinfandel Red Wines Enjoyed Years Ago Revisited

 

Zinfandel Red Wines Enjoyed Years Ago Revisited

 

  There is a debate as to the age-worthiness of Zinfandel wines; so, after recently tasting a couple of older Zinfandels and being disappointed, I intend, after almost six years, to strike the path of forgotten gems to find-out if they're holding-up any better than I am.
Thankfully, Ridge provides on the back label a best guess as to how long cellaring their wines makes sense.
  Though the Gamba Moratto Russian River Old Vine 2009 Zinfandel, $39.59-$43.99, 86 points wasn't among my earliest of Zins, it was old enough (4-5 year old Zins should be the starting point) to list it here with those which are to follow, and of course, I have no illusions as to this being a thorough and conclusive test, that will take your own wine tasting experiences.
  So as barbecue time smokes into 2016, so will these cellared Zinfandels, which I'll list here as I go along this trek.
Cheers!
