Biker Delivers Da Goods

Friends of the Rampant Oenophile will recall my love of Zinfandels, and California’s Paso Robles region hosts wineries offering tremendous wines and tremendous values. Four Vines proclaims amazing wines, and their Zinfandel offering, The Biker, just earned 91 points from Wine Spectator for their 2007 edition.

Biker epitomizes quality Zinfandel. It’s full of fruit and spice, offers bold fragrance, and explodes on the tongue. You’ll smell and taste big black fruit like plums and berries. I found pepper and licorice, but moderated with vanilla and oak. Biker is brash, zesty, and anything but subtle, but you get what you want from a good Zinfandel. If found it locally for $22, which makes the Biker a solid buy for a rewarding Zin.
