Wine Review OnlineMarguerite Thomas “Beautifully complex and balanced, this elegant Zinfandel reflects the mature, intricate flavors and textures that well tended old vines are capable of producing. It’s more subtle and restrained than dense and chewy, and therefore exceptionally food-friendly.” February 27th, 2012

Lush and smooth with blackberry, cherry and spice plus some interesting floral notes; rich, dense andjuicy; long and balanced with lots of charm.

This smells intense out of the bottle, with a smoky twang, dried bay leaf, chamomile, and subtly integrated oak all wrapped in gauzy strawberry fruit. A touch soft in the mouth, this is nonetheless very smooth and clear with classic briary, brambly black berry and black raspberry fruit that is really juicy tasting. The back end lightens considerably and shows the pretty side of this wine, all clear red fruits and well judged oak with great fruit persistence. The finish is almost citrussy with its show of acidity, so this must just have so much stuffing. Perhaps a hint of RS that it only appears to be soft. Nicely done though. |
