Notes on the Zapped, Sapped And Slapped 12 Bottle Set : NVWE NOTES: Are you willing to risk being ZAPPED, SAPPED OR SLAPPED?
Well… great wine doesn’t have to hurt you… but great Zinfandel should make a statement. This year’s 2008 Zinfandel Advocates and Producers (ZAP) tasting featured dozens of outspoken wines. Here are six that had something to say...
2006 Brown Estate Zinfandel, Estate Vineyard, Napa Valley-Chiles Valley
Buxom. A sweet-hearted Lady, but with attitude to spare, an earthy streak and a tart edge to keep the attention focused. Loosen your necktie, it’s hot in here. 1,900 cases produced.
2006 Charter Oak Zinfandel, Napa Valley
Suave and handsome this fella, with an oiled tan straight from Muscle Beach. No hard edges, but a manly stance that turns heads and beckons, Confident. He knows you’re interested, but he won’t wait long. 400 cases produced.
2005 Bella Vetta Zinfandel, Jack’s Cabin, Rockpile District
That come-hither look, you’ve seen it before. Things could get heavy, should you respond? Yeah…maybe so. Did you wanna live forever? 380 cases produced.
2005 Stuhlmuller Zinfandel, Sonoma County, Alexander Valley
Shady looking. Could be Jean-Paul Belmondo in “Breathless,” could be a track trout. Handsome, in a shifty sort of way. Worth the gamble? Where’s the dice? 387 cases produced.
2005 Tin Barn Zinfandel, Dalrady Vineyard, Napa Valley
Shy and demure, no spiked heels, no lipstick. A healthy girl: not raised on Diner food. Nervous look though, heavy purse too…a weapon? Dust yourself off, say something friendly. 140 cases produced.
2006 Gamba Zinfandel, Estate Vineyard, Russian River Valley
Yep, the big guy’s back in town. Mr. Muscle, powerful and imposing to the gents, but-oh-so sweet to the ladies. Long to the finish and back tomorrow full of energy, he keeps it spicy and interesting. 800 cases made.
