  September 16, 2011 - Cork color deep crimson - not surprised. Medium depth core with garnet edge. Nose of currant and plum, matching the palate, plus some mulberry lingering. Label indicates 14% alcohol but mellowed by the age, 'tis the reason I waited to open for all worthy wines! Aromas and flavors remained consistent over 2 hours time. Medium light tannin - I would not object "medium" tannin, but tannin is a friend and as long as well integrated, I welcome it. I'm also glad I didn't wait for longer to enjoy this '04 Zin by UNTI.

  January 7, 2009 - One of my favorite Zinfandels, this one is more refined and complex than many other ostentatious and over-the-top Zinfandels. There's big fruit and spice, but has plenty of acid and tannin to match courtesy of the 20% grenache in the blend, even after 2 hours of decanting. With that much structure, I felt we could have left this to age for another year or two to soften the edges a little while still maintaining the great fruit character.
