Gallo Sonoma Zinfandel Frei Ranch Vineyard 1999

Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, California, United StatesThe nose is a mix of overripe blackberry, pruny, pepper and saddle leather aromas with some nice black licorice and cedar notes. Rich and intense with some dry tannins and enough alcohol to give it a slightly "porty" edge. The flavours are blackberry jam, coffee/vanilla and resiny, licorice flavours. A warm, somewhat overripe style, that appears to aging quickly.Tasted: 16 January 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
