A label that is known for full throttle product is wise to keep the pedal to the metal. Mission accomplished with Macchia’s “Voluptuous” Old Vine Zinfandel, in which power is evident but well managed, with a streak of acidity centering the ripe fruit and keeping Zin’s attractive pepper character intact. Take it easy here – I recommend stretching the pleasure out over a few hours.
