This Vintage, when it opens up, reflects the Elegance & Raspberry fruit flavors of our ’97 while showing some of that Black Pepper that so favorably dominates our ’98 but has more layers of complexity all of which should easily age for many years. Our style of Zinfandel tends to be a more fruit focused & balanced in a way that tends reward more age than some consider ‘traditional for Zinfandel’. When uncorked young, this one takes some time to release its complexities. When we release it I recommend decanting our 1999 for an hour or 2 or safe storage till 2005 & beyond!

Powerful & thick but with a meal enhancing Balance; Pepper, Cherry-Raspberry Fruit, Elegant integrated pleasant/complex fruit & oak tannins.

Crisp, Clean, Flowery bouquet, FRESH PEACHES, honeysuckle, pear, melon & delicate spices and tropical fruit flavors make it a delightful compliment to a wide array of foods! Compare its “Nose” to Viognier or Marsanne, with a gentler spice than a dry Gewürztraminer and far, far more fruit than the best Pinot Gris could hope for!*
