Hanna 2012 Bismark Mountain Vineyard Zinfandel (Sonoma Valley)

Country: US / Bismark Mountain Vineyard
Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: Hanna / Sonoma Valley

Extraordinarily high alcohol is the defining reality of this wine. It gives it a burn in the mouth, like cognac, only without the richness. The currant and spice flavors are nicely dry, but that high alcohol accentuates the tannins.
