Croatian Blindtasting: Plavac Malis and Croatia's first Zin bottling (Rich and Peggy's Home in Los Altos, California): Group's #2 (my #2) – 37 pts.; 4, 2, 1, 1 - medium dark garnet red color; oak, berry, ripe plum, vanilla nose; juicy, sweet vanilla oak, ripe plum, ripe berry, wild berry, blueberry palate; medium-plus finish (when we were told that there was one wine in this blindtasting of 8 Croatian wines on which Michel Rolland had been the consultant, all of this picked this as having Rolland's stamp on it)
