Acorn 2005 Alegria Vineyards Heritage Vines Zinfandel (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Alegria Vineyards Heritage Vines
Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: Acorn / Russian River Valley

Acorn has produced one of their best bottlings ever. The wine is drily crisp and tannic, but rich and supple, with cassis, cherry and carob flavors that have an earthy, mushroom and tobacco grounding. The wine contains smaller amounts of at least 10 other varieties, in the manner of an old field blend.
