1998 Topolos Russian River Valley, Piner Heights Zinfandel

This one is very sweet, or it’s over the top, I’m not sure which. Okay, I don’t think it is over the top. I’ve had their Zin port, and this reminds me a bit of that one. If you like very ripe Zinfandels, you’ll probably love this one. It sort of reminds me of the 2002 Cline Ancient Vines Zinfandel.

Let me find some desert to see if it improves.

2001 Adelaida Paso Robles Zinfandel $22

I’m not sure what to say about this one, as my first thought was that it would be a decent pizza wine. And in fact I tried it with my home-made pizza, and it was good. I’m not tasting anything outstanding though, and that bothers me. For the price, I think I can come up with better pizza wines.
