Sunday, January 30, 2005 - 15.1% alc...just off the truck this last week, 4 days rest...dark garnet, even at the rim...nose of prunes, roasted nuts...this wine starts out just brooding and black, then turns into a pruney, nutty concoction, thicker than I usually like my Zins, lacking acidity. Interesting wine, not necessarily equipped for food. I'm just not in the market for these types of zins anymore - and usually Ridge avoids this to my palate. Can picture this after dinner with nuts, cheeses?
