2010 Nova Vineyard Zinfandel
88 Points
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
(15.5% alcohol): Opaque ruby. Heady aromas of candied cherry and plum, with a smoky herbal overtone. Lush and open-knit, offering smooth dark fruit compote flavors that pick up a vanilla accent with air. Finishes on a warm note, with good breadth and lingering sweetness. I'd have liked a bit more vivacity but there's no denying this wine's opulence.
