Lake Sonoma Winery, Dry Creek Valley (Sonoma County, California) Zinfandel 2013

Jan 19, 2017

By Marguerite Thomas

With light floral elements and wild dry spice in addition to the bright, dynamic fruit we expect from good Zinfandel, this is a wine that goes all out to make you adore it.  And who could resist the attractions?  This wine is big and strong yet soft and yielding, and it’s that very duality that is particularly engaging.  It is a Zinfandel that is sophisticated but definitely not one of those hoity-toity reds that wants you to dim the lights and meditate on its various subtleties.  On the contrary, Lake Sonoma’s Zinfandel is all about relaxed enjoyment.
