A new offering, the 2007 Zinfandel Fredericks Vineyard, is super. Old hillside, dry-farmed vines have produced a deep ruby/purple-tinged 2007 displaying sweet black currant and black cherry notes intermixed with notions of new saddle leather, forest floor, pepper, and spice. Full-bodied, gorgeously textured, long, heady, and rich, this should turn out to be a provocative Zin for drinking over the next decade.
