| 2007 Bella Zinfandel Big River Ranch Alexander Valley, Sonoma, California WB Rating: 85 Alcohol by volume: 14.0% Price at time of purchase: $38.00 (Winery) Type: Zinfandel Principal varietal(s): Zinfandel Lean, sculpted, low-alcohol Zinfandel that will be liked more by people who favor Claret-styled Zins than by me. It's a well-balanced and pleasant wine, but just too restrained and, well, Claret-like to suit my taste. Fruit leans toward dark cherry and plum, with some floral and age-induced cedary notes. Still fairly constrained and closed in the mouth, even at age 7. Just not enough of the classic Zinfandel joie de vivre to get me very excited. - HK 2014-06-18 [Back] |
