OZV Old Vine Zinfandel 2009 (about $15)






About the Wine:  Zinfandel is one of the strangest of all wines.  It ranges from syrupy sweet to painfully dry.  This is one of my favorite varietals but buying a new one is always a risk.

About THIS Wine:  The center is dark purple with a violet rim.  Jammy red fruit dominates the nose and is complimented by notes of spice.  The palate is very rich with lots of mocha and cream with a whipped cream finish.

Drinking This Wine:  Sipping wine all the way.  The palate is not really sweet but it is definitely not dry and does not compliment any particular food.

Overall Impression:  Wine snobs and novices alike can enjoy this wine and it is a nice bridge between sweet and dry.  This wine would not be at all overpriced at twenty-five a bottle.  At fifteen it is a steal.
