Vie Winery 2005 Beatty Ranch Vineyard Zinfandel (Howell Mountain)

Country: US / Beatty Ranch Vineyard
Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: Vie Winery / Howell Mountain

The fault with this enormous Zin is that despite a hefty 15.6% alcohol, it still tastes as sweet as a ruby Port. Fifty percent new oak only contributes caramel to what should properly be labeled a dessert wine.
