2002 Tobin James Charisma

[Innkeeper]

2002 Tobin James, Paso Robles, Charisma, Dessert Zinfandel($20 500 ml). 17.1% alcohol. Completely different wine than the Liquid Love Late Harvest Zinfandel. Came in the fall '03 shipment. Like previous Charismas (though they were made with additional grapes) this is a cold fermented, ligher dessert wine. The color is dark pink or medium salmon depending on your perspective. Served at the recommended ice cold temperature it gives you a rush of tropical aromas and flavors from nose to finish. We popped it for a late arrival of a rare visit from a wine savy brother from New Hampshire last night. The three of us demolished it before retiring. Wonderful.
