2005 Jeff Cohn Cellars Zinfandel Arrowhead Mountain Vineyard

Perhaps the measure of just how good a winemaker Jeff Cohn is is the strength of his 2005 Zinfandel Arrowhead Mountain. From a very challenging year for Zinfandel, Cohn has turned out one of the vintage’s finest wines. Its deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by loads of briery, peppery, spicy fruit, good acidity, medium to full body, and a substantial mouthfeel.
