7 Deadly Zins Zinfandel 2004
Lodi, Central Valley, California, United StatesSuper smoky nose streaked with briary, chocolate, blackberry and saddle leather scented fruit. The entry is ultra smooth and satiny the fruit warm spicy and crammed with black cherry jam, chocolate and vanilla flavours. Far more interest here on the mid-palate ― not just fruit but leather cedar and tobacco give it some welcomed complexity. Drink all autumn with any number of mushroom dishes. Made with fruit from seven vineyards.Tasted: 29 July 2006Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $27.90 | 750ml | specialty |
