description: This wine might be the poster child for the raging debate over high alcohol. With 15.7%, it certainly qualifies in that category. But it's also quite good, and has its place. It is dry and exuberant, with cherry, plum, currant and spice flavors, and as heady as it is, it will be fantastic with barbecue.
variety: Zinfandel
designation: Teldeschi Vineyard Old Vine
