| 1999 Montevina Winery Terra d'Oro Zinfandel Amador County, California WB Rating: 88 Alcohol by volume: 15.5% Price at time of purchase: $18.00 (winery) Type: Zinfandel Principal varietal(s): Zin Primarily from vines planted in 1954 in the Shenandoah Valley of Amador County, this wine is a real find. Mouth-coating layers of coffee and unsweetened chocolate with undertones of ripe dark berry fruit. A slight hollowness in the midrange is the only downside. Balanced and intense, round and long, and still slightly tannic. All we can wish for in a young Zinfandel that might even improve with age. - WB Team 2002-11-06 [Back] |
