Zinfandel, "Rhodes Vineyard", Mendocino County

Zinfandel, "Rhodes Vineyard", Mendocino County Wine Details
Price: $30.00 per bottle

Description: You know how some days early in a relationship you really enjoy the romantic cat and mouse of deep conversation, slowly building the mood as you gradually uncover layers of complexity and personality, teasing out the subtle nuances.....yep, that would be a good day for the Pinot Noir. This Zinfandel is for when you just want it all, up front and right away if possible. Reminiscent of the 1998 vintage, the big, briary cherry and strawberry aromatics passionately leap out of the glass to you as soon as you get close. The complexity is there in a lively upfront style jammed with both fruit and sweet spice flavors. We might be even getting a little hint of peppermint. The 2002 vintage of Zinfandel for us is one of the better of recent years with even more of the flavor intensity that has characterized this wine. Some concern has been raised that it might be addicting.
