"2002 Rocking Horse Zinfandel, 65% Napa Valley, 35% Sonoma Here is the second of three offerings from this winery currently featured at Trader Joe’s. This zin jumps out of the glass with a big blast of oak, peppery Zinfandel spice, and superripe, autumn blackberries. There’s more oak in the mouth, a sense of heat, and ripe, spicy, brambly blackberry curd. The combination of heat, ripe fruit and spice reminds me of a rough-hewn ruby port. This wine is a bit over the top — check that — way over the top, but it’s also a whole lot of wine for the money, so try a bottle if you like this style. Price: $7.99 Score: 150%"
