99 Coffaro Dry Creek / 99 Seghesio Sonoma

[raggedy1]

David Coffaro Dry Creek Valley - This is a blend (75zin, 8PS, 7CS, 7CF, 3Barbera) 985 cases.
Ah, if only I could find more of this... I paid $18.99 and the store I purchased this at sold out before I returned for more. This definitely tasted like a blend, but it was delicious nonetheless. Coffaro has a reputation for blending unique wines, and this one doesn't disappoint. It is full of fruit and spice; even slightly sweet. I am not a fan of sweet wines, so don't misunderstand; there is a sweetness that is wonderfully balanced in with the qualities I look for in a Zin. A unique drinking experience that I highly recommend. Full, balanced, long finish and delicious!

Seghesio Sonoma Zinfandel - Shows some oak that the Coffaro didn't. A little spicier than the Coffaro. The finish was not as long but it is great on the palate. Smoky, spicy and dark fruits is the best way to describe this one. A great buy at $11.59.
