This robust, fruity and moderately tannic wine will pair well with grills and roasts, as its firm texture and generous dark plum and blackberry flavors have plenty of power. Made from the fruit of several pre-Prohibition vineyards, the wine is full bodied, peppery and complex. Editors’ Choice.
Forgotten Vines Zinfandel Reviews
The 2015 Zinfandel Forgotten Vines is medium garnet-purple colored and opens with lovely potpourri and baking spice notes over a core of Black Forest cake, dried mulberries and prunes plus touches of fried herbs and new leather. Opulently fruited with loads of spicy berry preserves flavors and a chewy frame, it has a good long, refreshing finish.
With a deep garnet-purple color, the 2014 Zinfandel Forgotten Vines gives pronounced notes of prunes, baked blackberries and black cherry coulis with hints of balsamic, licorice and Indian spices. Full-bodied, concentrated and packed with baked berry and spice flavors, it has a lively backbone and velvety texture to support, with excellent persistence.
Offers plump fruit and aromas of floral raspberry and toasty spice that combine with jammy cherry, licorice and cracked pepper flavors. –TF
