Lake Sonoma Winery

 

1999 LAKE SONOMA Zinfandel, Dry Creek

The wine under review is OK, but those who, like myself, include Zinfandel in the list of their favorite five wines, and have tried several different brands will consider it almost plain. The aroma is not too intense nor complex. It has the usual prune and black cherry with a pleasant oak finishing, but it is not yet fully developed. It may become better in two or three years. In the mouth it is pleasantly warm and tannic. Since the wine is young, it has still some freshness and the alcoholic component that one feels on the tongue is not as soft as it should be.
About $16.        09/20/01       Laura
