Community Tasting Note

Monday, October 1, 2007 - Nose: Beautiful black and blueberry, cakespice. Perfumed and really lovely.

Taste: Mature Zinfandel, firmly in the connaisseur's spectrum. A very late release for a 2002, but showing outstanding balance, structure, rhubarb and cherry fruit, complex tea flavors and excellent length. Superb.

Summary: Most Zins are styled in big, extracted, high alcohol blockbuster themes these days....and more than a few of us are sick of that. This Zin is totally opposite; its an intellectual wine, showing the delicate nature of the grape if vinified correctly. No need to wax poetic on the merits of this winery, its well documented.
