Description:
2006 Sobon Estate Amador Zinfandel Old Vines, 14.9% alc., $11.99: Dark color, with an earthy briar/bramble character that dominates the blackberry and black raspberry nose; the flavors echo and expand with that old time feeling, and with air, some root beer and coffee-mocha emerge as well. Less fruit forward than the two higher priced bottlings, but by no means fruit deficient; smooth in texture, with unobtrusive tannins and good acidity to at least hold, if not improve this over the next few years, but I like it right now and probably wouldn’t wait.
