In a previous post, we recommended a Cabernet Sauvignon by Black Mountain Vineyard. We found online reviews supporting their Zinfandel so we decided to give it a try. Verdict: So far you can’t go wrong with Black Mountain!The 2005 Black Mountain Vineyard Cramer Ridge Zinfandel was a fun, everyday wine. It had a dark ruby red color and lots of cherry flavor. We picked up some black pepper taste somewhere in the middle, and the finish had a slight sour cherry flavor. It wasn’t a particularly complicated or bold wine. It was young and tangy and easy to drink.
Like its Cabernet brother, the Black Mountain Zinfandel would be a great pizza wine. It would also be a great wine for those folks who want to drink one glass of red wine a day for health without breaking the bank. For just $6 at Trader Joe’s, the Cramer Ridge Zin is a great buy.
