Greenwood Ridge 2012 Scherrer Vineyards Zinfandel (Sonoma County)

Country: US / Scherrer Vineyards
Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: Greenwood Ridge / Sonoma County

Restrained and tannic, this Zin needs time to resolve and mellow its fine layers of blackberry and tar. Complex and structured, from 95-year-old vines, it should do that with aplomb, the wine more savory than sweet, a refreshing alternative to super-sized Zins.
