California Zinfandels: Which Ones Are Best?

Filed in archive California Wines on February 27, 2009

Vinography had an informative and insightful look earlier this month at California's Zinfandels. The author went to the ZAP Zinfandel Festival "for a chance to taste a whole lot of Zinfandel."

The place was crowded:

Most Zinfandels top-out at $40 a bottle, and most really good ones hover in the $25 to $35 per bottle range. At least that might help explain the hordes of people that (as they do every year) descended upon Fort Mason a couple of weeks ago, filling two huge exhibition halls and bringing a dull roar to that end of San Francisco.

The article rates well 150 Zinfandels ranging in price from $12 to $50 a bottle. It's an interesting article...
