Chateau Montelena

The Montelana Estate Calistoga Zinfandel 2012

Is it possible to have an elegant Zin? Not big. Not jammy. Not high in alcohol. Medium bodied and balanced. Softly smokey, raspberry, chocolate icing, with a sweet medium length finish. Over 3 nights. Well appreciated. — 9 years ago

I love it when you can have a big, slutty, oaked up Zin and still have it come across as relatively restrained in the category. Some days you just want to go there with a grilled rib eye. Still could use a couple years to settle in, though. — 9 years ago

Define "slutty." Was not in the WSET handbook.

9.1

2013 Juvenile Zin. Blended from 15 vineyards, but nothing over 25 years old. Big, raspberry, currant, cinnamon aromas. Taste is more restrained with currant, blackfruit, and a mineral edge. Tastes cooler than its 15.4% self. — 10 years ago

I love zins, this is not a typical zin. If you don't like zins normally then hit this bad boy up. You might change your mind. — 11 years ago

The Big Bad Red California Red Blend 2013

Tasty!! Sweet, very slightly dry, strong cherry notes, with a touch of cranberry, cardamom, and vanilla. The nose is extremely pleasant, full of cherry and oak. Very, very nice — 9 years ago

Ahlgren Vineyard

Zinfandel 2008

Got a tremendous deal on this one. Nice expression of a CA Zin, look elsewhere for subtlety. Not the late harvest style, it's mostly dry despite its ripeness. 16.4% ABV allegedly, didn't taste as much heat though.

Winemaker's comment: Rich bouquet. Big, bright, ripe complex fruity flavors. Mouth filling. Balanced fruit and acid.
