Il Valore Italian Zinfandel 2004
The more I drink and learn about wine, I discover a real interest in old world wines. I can’t help but notice the strong consistencies in character and smoothness throughout these wines. It would only make sense that the creators of old world wines would hold close to lasting traditions and make wines that represent all the qualities of their regions.
At $5.99, this zinfandel has strong powerful dark cherry aromas. The textures are smooth and clear with medium forward fruit that lingers. I detected a slight spicyness that was very consistant from smell to finish. For all the zinfandels that I have tried thus far, I would be comfortable selecting this wine as my benchmark.
