title: Lake Sonoma 2005 Saini Farms Old Vine Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
description: This wine does better when alcohol levels are elevated, which ripens and fattens the fruit. Here,  the alcohol is 15%, and the juicy flavors range from blackberry and mulberry jam through chocolate and sweet briary tobacco to exotic vanilla and Asian spices. Then there's the structure, near-perfect in acids and tannins.
variety: Zinfandel
designation: Saini Farms Old Vine
