Edmeades, Mendocino County (California) 2012

May 5, 2015

By Robert Whitley

Edmeades describes its ‘Folly’ as a Zinfandel blend. Actually, less than half the blend is Zin. The Zin shares space with Syrah, Petite Sirah and Merlot. But I quibble. This juicy red is full of Zinful brambly berry character, ripe black fruits and an overlay of oak vanillin. It’s fun and friendly, with supple, easy tannins, and should find a place around the picnic table throughout the outdoor grilling season.
