The 2005 Chateau Potelle VGS Zinfandel is yet another example of why VGS Zinfandel is held as a standard for California Zinfandels. Following a strong succession of 90 Plus pointed vintages since 2000, this Chateau Potelle Zinfandel is sure to add to the winery’s award-winning reputation with a 92 Point score from Wine & Spirits magazine. A wine that contributed to Cheateau Potelle earning American Winery of the Year by Wine & Spirits, this Zinfandel is a blend from three different vineyards and five different soil types, making an extraordinary combination of flavors that truly represents the site’s expressive rocky mountain landscape and microclimate. The 2005 Zinfandel is seductively aromatic with ripe raspberry, sweet spices, and notes of pepper before filling the mouth with refined fruit and spice characteristics. It has a lingering finish that melts seamlessly into fine layers of toasted oak, supported by lusciously soft tannins. Chateau Potelle calls the 2005 VGS Zinfandel ‘one of their best vintages.’
