title: V. Sattui 2008 Black-Sears Vineyard Zinfandel (Howell Mountain)
description: The vineyard has been source of good Zinfandel for V. Sattui, and this is their best yet. The wine is enormously rich and ripe in berry, cherry, currant, mocha and pepper flavors, but its structure really warrants attention. Perfectly firm tannins, fine acidity, and a touch of minerality gives the wine grounding. The alcohol is high, but in keeping with the wine's expression.
variety: Zinfandel
designation: Black-Sears Vineyard
