Jana 2005 Old Vine Zinfandel (Napa Valley)

Country: US / Old Vine
Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: Jana / Napa Valley

The brambly wild berry flavors have an exotic edge of white pepper and Chinese five-spice that’s interesting and even complex. But the wine is utterly lacking in acidity, which makes it syrupy even though it’s totally dry.
