Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, March 2, 2010 - On the nose: Some heat at first opening, but quickly dissipates. Mocha, Caramel, dusty currant pie.
On the tongue: Light to medium body, lots of raspberry, blue berry, slightly sweet, but not overly so.
Tried alone and with Mozza Squash Blossom Pizza and excellent Burrata.
This is on the lighter side of what I normally prefer, but the nose is quite expressive after 10 min of opening and the flavors are quintessential zin.
This would be another AP 2006 if it had a bolder mouthfeel. Regardless, it's an excellent QPR at $10-$11 and the best I've had in this price range in a long time.
