Rosso 2007
The Francis Ford Coppola Presents series of wines has a table red; a blend of 48% Zinfandel, 27% Syrah, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon (13.6% ALC); that I found in our local PA Wine store for about $10. For some reason, the bottles also had short Italian wine glasses packed with them, which might be from the Coppola’s “wine by the glass” line. I guess they had some glasses left over. Nevertheless, I was intrigued.
I found the wine to be quite nice, especially after it had been decanted for an hour or so. The sharp drunken berry wafts eased a bit, and the wine, cooled to about 65 F, was pleasantly soft on the palate, followed by a thick and fruity lingering aftertaste which was definitely the character of the dominant Zin.
Verdict – I would buy this wine again. It complements lightly spiced broiled lamb chops very well. It is also a delicious snack. Ha!
