2001 Fife Uplands Zinfandel

[winoweenie]

When made in the " Claret " style Zins will grow a nice beard the same as Cabs, Pinots, Merlots or any other red grape. When Cabs are made in the high-alcohol, jam-up-fromt-fruit style with low acidity they fade off into the sunset also. I think I posted on a 72 Clos du Val Zin that was orphaned in my cellar and we drank at the tender age of 29 or 30 that was sensational. Balance be the key. WW
