Wine Review: In our recent Zin tasting, this wine was the winner. This deep red wine has a rich intense bouquet. One taster sensed some raspberry, while others picked up some earthy aromas. On the palate, the wine is rich, flavorful, medium bodied, and well balanced. This wine concludes with an excellent finish that is a bit dry, definitely lengthy, and a tad hot. The group thought it would be a great steak wine. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: This is the sixth vintage of our wildly popular Russian River Valley AVA Zinfandel. This old-vine Zinfandel provides alluring aromas of blackberry, sweet pipe tobacco, black pepper and anise, complemented by flavors reminiscent of fresh-baked blackberry pie with allspice, anise and caramel notes on the finish. Stunningly rich and concentrated, our 2004 Russian River Valley Zinfandel has incredible definition of fruit and sweet luscious tannins.
