Many of today's zinfandels are so high in alcohol and aggressive fruit that they taste more like a Jell-O shot than a glass of wine. But not the 2006 Kalinda Zin, a special cuvée bottled for K&L by a vintner Robert Parker once called "One of my favorite zinfandel producers." Picked at relatively low brix (sugar level), the wine is aged for 13 months in French and American oak (about 20% new American). The wine's earthy framework keeps the blackberry fruit in check, creating a balanced zinfandel with acidity, fruit tannin and oak tannins all working together.
