UNION SQUARE JOURNAL by Mitch Kornfeld
"There are some wineries that only use the wild yeasts but they are a very small minority. One winery that uses wild yeast exclusively (as well as organically grown grapes) is Coturri, in Sonoma County. If you are looking for the really all-natural experience they are well worth checking out. The Zinfandel is probably their one wine that is easiest to find. If you are the adventurous type and you like big wines you should grab one, but be forewarned, they can be a tad erratic. I'm batting .750 with them, .800 if you count the 1990 in my storage facility that is going to be excellent. So far I found the 1987, '90, and '96 to be absolutely terrific, and the '94 was, well, wild. Not bad, but wild. It tasted more like a cherry cordial than anything else. The last I remember they were $15, but I wouldn't be surprised if they've gone up. If you catch a good one they are bargains." |
