2005 Charter Oak Winery, Zinfandel, Monte Rosso Vineyard, Sonoma Valley – $45

During these chilly winter months, it’s important to stay stocked up on cold weather supplies such as high-octane Zinfandel, firewood, and pot. This is hedonistic Zinfandel at its finest. 16% alcohol will keep your blood flowing even on the coldest of morning. It’s a blackberry- rasp- cherry- rotibus- berry- alco- very- nicely- spicy- not- so- achey- stuffy- or- snobby- will- knock- you- on- your- ass- so- you- can- sleep- Zinfandel. If you smoke a lot, it works well as an expectorant. In addition to all these benefits, it tastes great, is NOT less filling, wants food paired with it, and loves to catch you a buzz. Only 375 cases of this lesson-giving and ass-kicking Zinfandel were produced and it’s almost gone.
