The Immortal Zin



We had a fantastic "Primitivo" (Italians call Zinfandel Primitivo) at Truffles Grille and Wine bar in Milford the other night, so I decided to pick up some more Zinfandels at my recent Wine House visit. (BTW - while I didn't write up a full evaluation, the Primitivo was called Amano and I see it retails for about $10, so I will be looking for it!) Anywho - this Immortal Zin was no quite as refined as the Amano. Mrs. Vino says it is sweeter than other Zins we've had. There is a distinctive pepperyness you get from Zins and reasonable tannins to balance out that sweetness. So, we liked this $11 wine, but won't necessarily look for it.
