2001 Ledson Sonoma Valley Zin

[Drew]

My brother in law carted this over to Mom's on Thanksgiving for brunch...what a bruiser!
Big, bold flavors of dark zinberry, chocolate cherry, spice and cocoa. Very disjointed at this stage of it's life with massive coarse tannins on the slightly hot finish. I think it could develop into a very nice wine but needs 2 to 5, or more, to smooth out and come together. My sister was big time irritated that he bought a case of this at $36 per and a case of the Old Vines at $52 per at the winery last month. Will probably try the Old Vines around Xmas. Way over priced given what's in the bottle, IMHO. 15.6% Alc/vol.
