Oakwild Ranch Winery
Gianna Perli Vineyard Zinfandel
Mendocino Ridge, North Coast, California, USA
This 7 year old Zinfandel is still drinking nicely. Showing red and black fruits with chocolate notes, tobacco, earth, herbs, spices and peppercorn.
Medium bodied with medium plus acidity and a spicy finish.
Dry on the palate and easy drinking. High in alcohol, so watch out.
Good right out of the bottle and good by itself or with food. I paired it with a cheese plate.
I had it last year and it was better then, so if you have any, drink up.
15.5% alcohol by volume.
88 points.

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Fruity nose of black currants, black cherries, blueberries, wood, earth, licorice, vanilla, chocolates, coffee and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, spices, coke, tobacco, chocolates and black pepper.
Tangy finish with fine tannins and tangy cranberries.
This 6 year old Zinfandel is drinking very nicely now. Tasty with mild complexity and a nice mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle and better after 30 minutes of airtime.
This Single Vineyard is peaking now, and will be nice in the next couple of years.
Has high alcohol, but it is nicely integrated by now. Tangy and easy drinking. Interesting and enjoyable.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with a prime rib sandwich, with au jus dressing.
