America’s Grape

Jacob Gaffney  in Red Wines, Zinfandel, Primitivo , , , , ,

Zinfandel is America’s grape.

In Italy, the same grape is called Primitivo and tastes completely different.

The three Zinfandels InterWined tried were all very hot, which meant that the high alcohol content created a burning sensation in the mouth once the wine was swallowed. All were chunky with lush, blackberry fruit character. There is little to be tasted —soil-wise— but still…

Zinfandel is as American… well, Zinfandel.

It is not a wine for wimps, as Ravenswood winery puts on the back of its label.

The 2005 Lodi Zin (£8) stood out among the competition, for its hints of plum and vanilla. In fact, it told us so, when it stood up on a table and yelled this out at the top of its squid ink-coloured lungs: 8.6.

It’s a sin to drink Zin.

I have yet to find a Zin I like.

Trying starting with a Primitivo from Italy (not Amano)… if you don’t like those, it is unlikely you will find a Zin you like. Have you also tried ‘Peachy Cannon’ Zin?, you can buy it online if you live in a state with direct shipping reciprocity.

Tell me; am I making this up or did I read recently that US winemakers selling Zinfindels and Roses in the EU were having to change their labels to ensure that they better reflected the number of different grapes used to make the wine?
Is that right?
If so, I wonder why French and Italian wines don’t have to do the same.
