WTN: 2001 Tulocay Zinfandel Amador County

[David M. Bueker]

Another item from the "Red Wines for Turkey" tasting at Table & Vine:

Tasted after two rather jammy zins, this is a wake up call, with ripe, round, balanced fruit, dusty herb nuances & fantastic balance. After finishing my taste the host announces that this has 15.7% alcohol! I never caught any sense of heat . The richness of the fruit just ate it all up. Hands down this is my favorite Amador zin of all time.
