Shippey 2005 Rocking Z Vineyard Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: Shippey / Dry Creek Valley

The official alcohol on this wine is 14.9%, but it has a syrupy concentration and heat that tastes far higher than that. Was it watered down? Tastes like cherry and blackberry wine that was reduced for a sauce, with a thick, balsamic finish.
