Wilson 2005 Reserve Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: Wilson / Dry Creek Valley

The alcohol level of nearly 16% is the star, or the villain, of the show. It gives this Zin a hot, peppery mouthfeel, not to mention going to your head. On the other hand, the wine is dry and richly flavored in wild berries and spices, and the tannic quality is very fine.
