| 2009 St. Francis Zinfandel Amann Vineyard Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma, California WB Rating: 91 Alcohol by volume: 15.8% Price at time of purchase: $40.00 (winery) Type: Zinfandel Principal varietal(s): Zinfandel Super-rich, top-quality Zinfandel from a dry-farmed 80-year-old vineyard. Unlike some other St. Francis Zins I've had, the relatively high alcohol level in this wine is completely obliterated by a seamless rush of wild blackberries, black raspberry pie, smoky oak, and lively spiciness. Drinking beautifully already, it has a liqueur-like density, but its freshness and lift are a joy. - HK 2012-11-13 [Back] |
