Truett Hurst 2009 Red Rooster Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

Country: US / Red Rooster
Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: Truett Hurst / Dry Creek Valley

A luscious Zin, much better than the winery’s ’08. Made from old vineyards in the valley, it shows classic Dry Creek character, with firm tannins framing flavors of wild berries, dried red currants, pepper and sweet sandalwood. The alcohol is very high, if you’re sensitive to that.
