Two fine Zins

[Bucko]

2000 Marchetti, Zinfandel, California, $33. This wine is for those who like the very jammy style of Zinfandel. Packed with red fruit jam, the acidity holds the wine together. 89/87.

2000 Robert Mondavi, Zinfandel, Napa Valley, California, $21. This is pretty classic Zinfandel, just exuding with blackberries, black cherries and raspberries. The tannins are well under control and the whole package is supported by balanced acidity and French oak nuances. 89/89.
