In my continuing quest to find a truly good Zinfandel, I tried Bogle’s “Gnarly Old Vine” wine and was disappointed. Berries on the nose but overly heavy tannins on the finish and a middle that seemed hollow. This wine is like the kid who just got cut from football tryouts. Thanks for trying, but you’re just not that good. Better luck next year.

I recommend the Brown Estate Zinfandel 2006. It’s big, bold and smooth like buttah - clove, chocolate, blackberry - 15.4% alcohol.
