V. Sattui 2007 Black-Sears Vineyard Zinfandel (Howell Mountain)

Country: US / Black-Sears Vineyard
Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: V. Sattui / Howell Mountain

Not an easy wine to appreciate now. It’s tannic, and the fruit is fresh and primary, with the sweet, candied taste of a chewy raspberry twist. Still, there’s something complex and interesting going on. It’s not just another overripe Zin. Give it a year or two to come around.
