| 2009 Martinelli Zinfandel Giuseppe and Louisa Russian River, Sonoma, California WB Rating: 92 Alcohol by volume: 16.5% Price at time of purchase: $48.00 (from winery) Type: Zinfandel Principal varietal(s): Monster Zinfandel, absolutely overflowing with flavor. Deep, complex nose shows dark cherry, roasted fig, blackberry liqueur, prune, port, on top of a huge dosage of sweet oak and smoky, cinnamon-like spiciness. A dominant wine, therefore requiring a heavy-duty barbecue or ripe cheese. Very nearly over the top, but it stays on the healthy side. Super interesting and fun wine regardless of the food matchup problem. - HK 2013-10-26 [Back] |
