2012 Peter Franus Zinfandel Brandlin VineyardMt. Veeder more |
7/9/2016 - ManuKey Likes this wine: 89 pointsCe vin est une véritable bombe de fruit! Le nez est très expressif sur les fruits rouges, les "baking spices", après aération les fruits noirs et un registre floral font leur apparition avec une pointe de crème fraiche. La bouche est toute en fruit, très mûre, parait sucré, appuyé par une acidité juste. Jolie profondeur et longueur mais un peu chaud par contre avec ses 15% d'alc. En haut de 40$ c'est pricé un peu cher je trouve, mais très bon dans le genre. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

10/9/2015 - Jscalia Likes this wine: 90 pointsBeautiful wine. Lush dark fruits. Firm tannins. In the dark ages when I began my oenophilic journey, Zinfandels just didn't last decades. This wine at 19 years drinks beautifully. A testament to the wine maker and advances in vinificatioj techniques. |

12/17/2012 - rodsjuice Likes this wine: 91 pointsDecanted for 2 hours. Color a shade of garnet. Nose very aromatic vanilla, carmel, blueberry, plum. Palate is medium to full with a luschious smooth texture. Got hints of creamy butter with a lingering spice finish. Fantastic wine. Loved it. 5,13,17,6=91 |

3/7/2013 - AlDum wrote: 89 pointsLe millésime 2009 arbore une couleur rouge grenat assez opaque. Le nez est très expressif sur des arômes de fruits noirs, de prunes et d’épices sucrées apportées par un séjour en fût de chêne. Nous percevons également de la cardamome et des notes mentholées. C’est un vin assez complexe, mais il faut le passer en carafe au moins deux heures avant qu’il s’exprime pleinement. En bouche le vin s’avère très généreux et corsé. L’alcool se fait ressentir et les tanins sont enveloppants. C’est décidément un vin pour accompagner une pièce de viande sauvage. À mon goût, il manquerait une petite dose d’acidité pour le rendre plus digeste. Il pourrait vieillir encore cinq années en cave. www.PresseRaisin.com |

10/28/2012 - rodsjuice wrote: 88 pointsDecanted for an hour. Nose is more subtle with some floral and berry aromas. Palate is medium. Soft texture. Balanced with an elegant mouth feel. More of a cool climate Zin. As opposed to the jammy fruit forward style being represented by most wine makers. Most enjoyable and I will purchase more soon. 5,13,15,5=88 |

3/16/2014 - ZachF88 Likes this wine: 93 pointsAfter 45 mins decant and another 30 mins in the glass: Cassis, blueberry, vanillin, red currant, bing cherry, with a bit of spice box at the end. Finish was med-long. Medium-full bodied. This is drinking great right now and can't even imagine what another few years will do to this beautiful cab. |
