Wine of the week | Retailer of the month | Tasting with Oz 2005 Californian Zinfandel, The Best, California, USA, 14.5% ABV Morrisons, £5.99 Budget-priced Zinfandel is pretty hard to find – as a red wine, that is: the high street’s shelves are awash with the sweet pink variety. So Morrisons have done well to find this big solid red Zin that tastes exactly as it should: blackberry jam fruit, a pervading scent of Virginia tobacco (unsmoked) and a good wodge of honey toffee texture.
