Rich Ruby color that was a bit hazy. Very ripe on the nose that was a bit prune with a hint of alcohol. Like many ripe Zins I have had, this nose climbs way out of the glass. There is a bit of tangyness on the initial taste, which is replaced by rich berries similar to the nose. There is some oak present on the finish and it falls of a little early. I look forward to seeing if the finish develops more as it cellars for a few years. Highly recommended for the $17 retail price.

Siduri/Novy "Let's Play Hooky" Tasting (Santa Rosa, CA): Fruit from the Carlisle Vineyard, but this is the second wine which is only classifed as a Russian River Valley wine. Very good, spicy nose. Nice full body and good finish. Quite enjoyable, especially for $17!

This wine is loaded with ripe blackberry aromas and a ton of spice. Very fun wine that went great with baby back ribs.
