Sextant 2006 Holystone Zinfandel (Paso Robles)

Country: US / Holystone
Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: Sextant / Paso Robles

Tastes hot as a chile pepper, and no wonder. The alcohol is 15.8%. Some red wines get away with it, but this one doesn’t. The berry-cherry flavors are baked, and the wine is clumsy and inelegant.
