1998 Zaca Mesa Cuvee Z

[winoweenie]

A very interesting wine with lots of aromatics. 40% Grenache, 27% Mourvedre, 13% Cinsault,10% Counoise (?????????) and 10% Syrah. Deep purple with deep-ruby rim. Floral, spicy, brambly berry nose with a hint of chocolate. Nice entry , a solid center, and an adequate finish. 14.79 in case lots and a good wine for the money. Some background flavors I'm not familiar with. Had to stretch my imagination to come up with a combo of white pepper and dill. Still needs some time. WW
