2012 Zinfandels...
Posted by mkuller on April 5, 2015 at 12:16:11:
...the local discount wine shop I frequent had a zinfandel tasting.
I've compared their rankings to the Wine Spectator reviews since it will be a while before I can tell what I think about them.
7. Ridge Geyserville ($34.99)
6. Rombauer ($27.99)
5. Bedrock Old Vine 2013 ($23.99) WS 91pts
4. Green and Red Chiles Canyon ($19.99) WS 91pts
3. Limerick Lane Russian River ($29.99) WS 94pts
2. Carlisle Sodini Russian River Valley ($51.79)
1. Old Ghost Old Vine Lodi ($35.99) (how did this win?)
My experience with over 5 years with my wine tasting group is that "drinkability" and fruit forward tend to do better than complex and balanced.
