twitterSavvy wine buy: St. Francis Zinfandel ‘97
Wednesday, June 14, 2000 | 10:21 a.m.
Max Jacobson
Zinfandel is an exotic black grape unique to California, although new studies relating to DNA have traced its origins to Croatia. This deep red wine, not to be confused with the pink-colored White Zinfandel, was recently given a lofty and well-deserved 91 out of 100 points by the prestigious Wine Spectator. It's heavily oaked, full of toasty, smoky flavors and complex with hints of plum and other red fruits. It should drink well for at least five more years.
Available at Cost Plus, $18.99; and Nevada Wine Cellar, $19.99.
