2001 Zenato Ripassa

[hotwine]

Found Drew's notes on this beaut and wholeheartily agree. Just enough dried fruit (raisins? prunes?) to make it interesting, a sound backbone to make it food-friendly, and decent finish. With herb & veggie meatloaf (of beef, turkey, spinach and garlic with Italian seasoning), garlic mashers and sauteed zucchini. Failed to enter it into the db but suspect price was $15 or so. Will definitely buy more.
