| 1993 Topolos Zinfandel Rossi Ranch Sonoma Valley, California WB Rating: 75 Alcohol by volume: 15.0% Price at time of purchase: $12.00 (Library wine) Type: Zinfandel Principal varietal(s): Zinfandel Unlike the '91, the '93 Topolos Rossi Ranch never grew out of the somewhat strange and funky character it possessed when young. The Rossi Ranch generally has some unusual/controversial flavors in its profile, but this one crossed over the line for us from unusual to almost unpleasant. The wine is powerful (15%) and extracted, but there is only a hint of berry fruit lost in the earth, licorice, and wet forest edge. It's partly a matter of taste, but this one was too far from the Zinfandel comfort zone for us. - HK 2000-07-01 [Back] |
