2007 Bramblewood Zinfandel



Back in May of last year we reviewed the 2006 Bramblewood Zinfandel and since that time have drank a pretty good bit of it as it turned out to be pretty darn good and very consistent.

Recently, the 2007 vintage was released and I picked up a couple of bottles to try.

The two vintages appear to be pretty similar, with the 2007 being slightly more closed and having less of the earthiness and more of a fruit and spice profile.  The fruit is pretty dominant but there is still a good bit of spice.  There is still a bit of cocoa on the finish.

At this point, I definitely would prefer to drink the 2006 but I suspect that this one will develop as well.

Cheers!
