Bonterra Vineyards, Mendocino County (California) Zinfandel 2011

Apr 30, 2014

By Michael Franz

Made with organic grapes, this wine shows beautifully ripened fruit, almost no discernible oak influence, no overt alcohol, and quite restrained sweetness.  By not over-reaching in terms or ripeness or extraction, the team at Bonterra has crafted a wonderfully drinkable Zin that will fulfill many functions from cocktail-style sipping to tableside excellence with lightly spicy meats.  Platinum award winner at the 2014 San Diego International Wine Competition.
