The Wine Spieshttp://thewinespies.wordpress.com/2008/05/08/2005-bourassa-vineyards-napa-valley-zinfandel/ [The Wine Spies] Conclusion - This wine is a very drinkable wine (the perfect kind of wine) and is much more bright, youthful and fresh than your typical Zinfandel. Zin fans will find mush to like about this wine, and people who find most California Zins too big and spicy will love the nicely balanced and complex flavors of this wine that are not dominated by spicy pepper.
