mazzocco maple zinfandel (dry creek valley)

點擊次數(shù)：1989

With more than 16% alcohol, this Zin has a hot mouthfeel, even for Dry Creek Zinfandel. Still, it’s dry and smooth, with savory flavors of blackberry jam, chocolate, red and black currants, bacon and pepper. It’s a good example of its type, and of Mazzocco’s house style.——S.H.(2/1/2010)—— 86

Mazzocco’s style has settled into high alcohol, in this case 15.8%, sweet, jammy pie-filling fruit flavors, and soft tannins. If this is the kind of Zin you enjoy, it’s for you.——S.H.(4/1/2009)—— 82

From a benchland vineyard, this Zin is riper than almost anything out there. Higher in alcohol, too, with an astounding 16.8%. That’s almost Port—exactly what it tastes like, with caramelized blackberry berry, dark chocolate, and vanilla flavors.——S.H.(5/1/2008)—— 85
