1997 Rancho Zabaco

[newsguy]

drew, glad to hear your 97s are still rolling. i bought a case soon after release, but it was stuck in the back of a closet for close to a year before i rented a wine locker. i had my last bottle around six months ago, and the fruit was fading and it was losing its character, taking on the generic taste i've found some zins get when they're on the downslope. but the bottle i had a year before that was absolutely fabulous. yeah, that bottling still is my all-time value wine at $7.99 (btc).
