The 2007 Dancing Bull Zinfandel is one damn fruity wine. Wow. All I can say is let this one breathe before drinking. Right out of the bottle this California red is fruitier than a sorority girl’s umbrella filled spring break drink. After 10 minutes it mellowed a bit but this is a very fruit forward Zin.
According to the Lodi California wine maker, the fruit for this bottling is “sourced from multiple diverse appellations in an effort to blend warm and cool climate fruit into a layered, yet approachable Zinfandel.” It is certainly layered – but not quite approachable. If you like fruit, you may like this bottle. All in all, with all of the very drinkable Zins available today, even for $8.5, this wine just does not hold up. Save your money.
