A medium-dark ruby color and a shy nose, with some coaxing getting blackberry and orange blossom. Very spicy palate, loads of black pepper backed by plums and blackberries, dusty tannins, and a very long finish.
This was another excellent wine from the Dry Creek flight that I don't care to rank against its peers. According to Hugh, Katz Vineyard was planted around 1900 near Lytton East, 80-85% Zin with other mixed blacks and some white varieties interplanted. It's farmed organically but not certified. In the best years it hangs 2 tons/acre, and is fermented using ambient yeasts. Raised in all French Oak, 20% new.1 person found this helpful Comment
