zinfandels have remained off my radar to this day because i believed they were light wines, so i completely dismissed them. recently i was given a totally new perspective on this grape variety, and serendipitously in the following weeks a friend opened her last bottle of her favourite zinfandel. what a treat that was! rich, big and powerful, with berry flavours and a spicy overtone. so delicious. sadly it does appear that mandolin no longer produces the zinfandel. so if you get your hands on one, buy it! especially the 2005.
