Do any of you cognescenti out there know why there may be drastic
variations in bottles of the same case? For instance I have been
drinking out of a case of Klick Zinfandel which has been made in a
light "elegant" style like some Bordeaux. Last night Bam! I was hit
with a bottle as SWIMBO said, tasted like a Port! What's up with that?
It was delicious, but certainly not like any of the other bottles in
the case. No "taint" of any sort, just more ripe and definitely more
sweet.

I have no idea why there would be a bottle variation within the case. Sounds
like a nice surprise! But I am curious about Klick Zinfandel. Googled and
Wine Searchered, but nothing. Can you tell me a bit more about Klick? I was
intrigued by your description "elegant style like some Bordeaux".

Well, I like the flavour of zin, but I get tired of the "huge-er than
thou" style, and I was introduced to Klick by the restaurant "Zin" in
Healdsburg. What I'm drinking now is the 2005 Hamilton vinyard, Dry
Creek Valley. The label says Nice, CA, (on the North shore of
Clearlake, just NW of Healdsburg. Bottle Barn in Santa Rosa got it
for me.
