Summit Lakes' 1990 is potentially better that the 1988 and 1989. It displays explosive ripe fruit, a seductive, penetrating fragrance of black fruits, spices, and wood, and a long finish. A beautifully made Zinfandel, it has more to it than the 1988 and 1989, which is not surprising since 1990 tends to be a riper, fuller vintage for most producers. The 1990 will not be released for several years, but shrewd consumers might want to make a mental note. It is a shame only 2,000 cases of this Howell Mountain Zinfandel are produced because it deserves more attention than it receives. Tel. 707-965-2488.
