'03 Tobin James Fatboy Zinfandel

[Innkeeper]

2003 Tobin James, Fatboy, Zindandel, Paso Robles ($48 list, came with Spring '06 shipment). Alcohol level: 16%! Fat, big, bold, in your face, and overwhelming. Still, we both loved it. It was not only huge, but remarkably well balanced. We did not notice the alcohol till early bed, but no heat at all.

Matched it with sirloin steak sauteed in EVOO and Morton rub, Bordeaux rolls, and salad.
