1993 Brutocao Cellars & Vineyards Zinfandel Hopland Ranch

The 1993 Zinfandel Hopland Ranch is a gorgeously delicious, hedonistic, round, satiny-textured, fleshy Zinfandel loaded with raspberry and black-cherry fruit. The wine lacks total brilliance because all of this property's red wines (from their organically farmed vineyards) are bottled unfined and unfiltered. This lush Zinfandel should drink well for 3-4 years. Brutocao continues to offer attractive wines (in both quality and price) with admirable levels of up-front, precocious, ripe fruit, soft textures, and friendly personalities. Tel. (707) 744-1320.
