Tasting notes
A blend of 82% Zinfandel and 18% Carignane, the full-bodied, inky ruby/purple-tinged 2004 Zinfandel Buchignani reveals superb raw materials along with abundant quantities of raspberry, blueberry, black cherry, and loamy soil notes as well as subtle oak in the background. Nicely layered with good acidity and an opulent, powerful finish, and a low 14.4% alcohol, it can be enjoyed now and over the next 4-6 years. This venerable producer, with as fine a track record as any winery in the world, continues to turn out high quality Zinfandels. Tel. (408) 867-3233
