    Renwood 1997 Grandmére Zinfandel (Amador County)

    Full blueberry and blackberry aromas can't overcome the off-putting, solvent-like elements on the nose here. Lots of alcohol, spice-cake and dark berry flavors, but not much finesse or texture mark this disappointing old-vine offering from this generally solid Zinfandel producer.
