| 2017 Martinelli Zinfandel Lolita Ranch Russian River, Sonoma, California WB Rating: 91 Alcohol by volume: 16.5% Price at time of purchase: $58.00 (from winery) Type: Zinfandel Principal varietal(s): Relatively light in color and checking in at a "mere" 16.5%, this wine performs the usual Martinelli magic of hiding a crazy high alcohol level behind a wall of tasty fruit. Dark cherries, stone fruits, super-ripe plums, and roasted herbs leap forward in the nose and mouth, with a touch of savory Provencal herbs. Liqueur-like mouth feel. The alcohol level of this big, flavorful wine does make it a little tricky as a food match though. - HK 2022-10-20 [Back] |
