Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
From vines planted in 1937, this grower-turned-vintner family has crafted a first-rate Zin that perfectly reflects its terroir. It’s dry, bold and peppery, with brambly fruit that has a wild edge, and lots of alcohol. This value wine will benefit from mid-term aging. —S.H.

Watts Zinfandel - 1999

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
With tart acidity and firm tannins, this wine is a good candidate for pairing with Italian fare, like spaghetti and meatballs. It has a rustic, Chianti-like feeling, with flavors of cherries, cocoa and tobacco.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Rustic, with wintergreen and cherry flavors and a dry finish. The acidity is its biggest problem, making the wine overly sharp. Drink now.

The wine is tannicly dry and exuberant in raisin-tinged blackberries, with a rustic mouthfeel. Good for everyday fare, like pizza, lasagna or burgers.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Awkward, with its semisweet cherry flavors and low acidity, which makes it somewhat cloying. Okay for picnics and stuff, if you’re not stuffy.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
On the dull, soft side, this earthy Chard has modest pineapple, apricot and peaches and cream flavors. It’s an okay wine for easy fare.

Watts Chardonnay - 2005

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Seems a bit past its prime, with the cherry-berry fruit and red currants flavors dropping out and the heat of alcohol showing through.

Simple and sweet. Tastes like canned juices of pineapples, peaches and pears, with a hint of vanilla and smoke.

Watts Chardonnay - 2007

0 out of 0 people thought this note was helpful.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
As sweet as a dessert drink, with sugared pineapple juice, vanilla custard and spice flavors. Yet it’s balanced with crisp acidity, and finishes clean. If this is your style, it’s for you.
