| 1999 VillaToscano Zinfandel Shenandoah Valley Sierra Foothills, California WB Rating: 84 Alcohol by volume: 14.0% Price at time of purchase: $10.99 (Beverages and More) Type: Zinfandel Principal varietal(s): Zin Medicinal (cough syrup) nose. Garnet colored, somewhat lighter than the typical Zins. The first sip fills the mouth with oily, coffe-bean and cassis flavors, and the wine is intense enough to go well with rich foods, slow-cooked lamb shanks for example. One taster detected an artifical sweetener finish, although I didn't pick up on this. If the length was a bit longer, it would have rated higher. - MJA 2002-12-06 [Back] |
