| 2014 Witching Stick Zinfandel Fashauer Vineyard Mendocino Ridge, Mendocino County, California WB Rating: 90 Alcohol by volume: 14.4% Price at time of purchase: $38.00 (winery) Type: Zinfandel Principal varietal(s): Zinfandel This Fashauer Vineyard Zin is not the alcoholic behemouth the 2013 was, but it is not far behind it in terms of flavor intensity and sheer pleasure. Reminded me of a rich Sonoma Valley Zin (the Ridge Pagani Ranch comes to mind) with concentrated flavors of dark berry and blueberry fruit, mouth-gripping texture, and delicious spicy nuances. Not so weighty in the mouth as the 2013, but equally satisfying and probably better with food. - HK 2018-02-22 [Back] |
