| 1998 Edmeades Zinfandel Mendocino Mendocino, California WB Rating: 86 Alcohol by volume: 15.6% Price at time of purchase: $14.99 (The Wine Club) Type: Zinfandel Principal varietal(s): n/a This was something of a surprise, as it had been tasted two years ago and was given a considerably higher rating. At that time the wine was described as "elegant and smooth, yet oozing with spicy plum aromas and flavors." Yet this go-round, the wine seemed somewhat disjointed -- hot in the nose and mouth, with a black fruit core submerged beneath some very earthy and mushroomy notes. One taster who should know said there were some redwood hot-tub-like components in the nose. Still pleasant enough, but not the classic rich Zin we remembered. - WB Team 2002-12-06 [Back] |
