Trentadue Zinfandel Alexander Valley (2006)

Trentadue Zinfandel Alexander Valley

Rank:  3rd Place

Rating:  88

Approximate Price:  $13

Cutting:  A good value wine with strong chocolate and cocoa aromas that initially overshadow the plum and berry characteristics.

The Trentadue Zinfandel Alexander Valley initially hits with chocolate and cocoa aromas followed by plum, berry and spice.  On the palate, plum, cocoa, berry and a distinctive licorice finish stand out.  A very good medium bodied wine, but slightly out of balance with the chocolate and cocoa initially overshadowing the fruit.  A good value for the price.
