Franciscan Oakville Estate Zinfandel 2000

Napa Valley, California, United StatesIntense black pepper, blackberry jam, vanilla cola nose with some licorice and cedar. Much more voluptuous, ripe style zin with weight and fruit intensity. We love the big briary, black berry, spicy, clove and vanilla flavours and its smooth, round textures. The finish is long and somewhat warm. Save this for a rainy fall evening with your duck or goose dinner.Tasted: 17 September 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
