2000 Williams Selyem "Forchini, South Knoll" Russian River Valley Zinfandel

Readers looking for big, briery, dense, high alcohol Zinfandels will enjoy this offerings made by winemaker Bob Cabral. The 2000 Zinfandel Forchini South Knoll, a 230-case cuvee, tastes like blueberry and raspberry liqueur intermixed with kirsch and floral notes. It is full-bodied, with whopping power in the finish (15.8% alcohol). (RP)
