2001 Folie à Deux, Zinfandel, Amador County, California, $17, 4,122 cases. Gobs of oak, spice and cherry fruit unfold on the nose. Drying tannins hit the palate upfront, then oak obscures all else, making it impossible to assess at this point; NR.
I so !@#$%^&* sick of wineries oaking the living $hit out of wines. Grrrrr.....

Too bad. I have a writer friend, who when she gets hold of one of those wines, is known to exclaim--"I'm a woman, not a termite!"
