2009 Buehler Napa Valley Zinfandel 750ml

Quick Overview

Wine Spectator Top 100: 2011 #68! Aromas of a briar patch on a hot summer day carry over to the palate and are carried in a mouth-filling, flavorful, juicy package. The wine was crafted for immediate enjoyment but for those who enjoy a more complex wine displaying some bottle-aged character, aging for another two to three years is a good option.

2009 Buehler Napa Valley Zinfandel 750ml

Buehler's Zinfandel Vineyards are over 30 years old. These vineyards consist of two blocks, The Barn and The House. Among the old head trained zinfandel vines are some petite sirah vines accounting for 5% of the total vines in this block. A traditional field companion to zinfandel in pre-prohibition California vineyards, petite sirah contributes pepper, color and structure to the wine.

WINE SPECTATOR RATING: 91

WINE SPECTATOR REVIEW: Funny how perceptions change with the economic times, but the one thing I've always liked about Buehler's wines is their old-fashioned value and dependability. Take for example the Zinfandel Napa Valley 2009(91 points, $18), which is sleek and focused with elegantly complex notes of cherry, vanilla and spicy oak.
