Berry tones with a luscious finish. (3454 views) | | | Tasted by ewineguy on 4/2/2010 & rated 90 points: I was inventorying wine about 4:00 when Devin spotted the 04 “old vine” and a smile came to her face. I knew this is what I would be taking to Hannah’s. Despite it being Good Friday and knowing it would be a meatless night, I brought it anyway. After a single malt, Ashleigh our food server ran it through the Barbie Toilette, and Devin and I started picking it apart. The dark ruby color was perfect. Devin said, “Plum” as soon as it hit her blood hound nose. Then she said thyme. I don’t know if it was the power of suggestion but it did have some herbs in the nose. Again in the mouth, it was not as complex as one might expect. It was a mild smooth great tasting zin. Some minerals, a smokiness ,and currant. All around a very special zin. Glad I have a few more left. (3178 views) | | | Tasted by jsanko on 9/16/2009 & rated 90 points: Beautiful opening, spicy overtones and a lingering finish. Beautiful color and nose.

| Grgich Hills Producer websiteZinfandel ZAP: Zinfandel Advocates & Producers | Varietal character (Appellation America) | Wikipedia-ZinfandelUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Napa ValleySt. Helena |
