(St. Amant Winery Zinfandel Old Vines Mohr-Fry Ranch Vineyard) From a meticulously sorted, 64-year-old block that expresses the terroir with even deeper raspberry- and blueberry-pie aspects. The almost framboise-like concentration in the nose gives a velvety, sensuously layered, explosively fruit-forward feel on the palate. Prototypically Mokelumne River—neither overripe nor pruney, soft, and intoxicating in sheer, aromatic fruitiness rather than in alcohol (15.8%), tannin, or oak. At peak intensity now, and perhaps for another year or two. Terroir: Mokelumne River

Have to give this wine some credit for sheer quantity of fruit stuffed into an inexpensive package, but drinking more like an awkward fortified wine right now than anything else. This, sweet and syrupy, with as much bitter overripeness as sweet fruit. Not a terrible pizza wine.

Too concentrated and cloying. Thick, syrupy...just not what I'm digging at the moment.

OK, I have to admit that I enjoy this at some level. But it is not a fine wine, and my palate yesterday must be miles away from where it was when I reviewed this wine twice about a year ago. It is incredibly sweet, the point of almost tasting fake. Thankfully it lacks the bitter edge that some overripe, overoaked wines get, but the sweetness is overwhelming. There is no backbone of acidity or tannin to frame the sweetness, so what you are left with is a syrupy, fat wine that is pretty cloying. But at some level, fun.
