11 years on and we finally popped and poured. What a very nice surprise this was. Mellowed by the years like a good port, This ripe, smooth, lush and still fruity wine was quite a good wine for the evening. Great texture, but there was an underlying tea/stemmy note that was not quite as positive as it sounded it it could be.

However, overall, still a very enjoyable bottle.]]>

We enjoyed the taste and spiciness with our dinner of marinated loin ends in Bul-Kogi sauce, sweet potatoes, and eggplant salad tonight. Yum!]]>

A very nice, fruity, feminine zin with an attractive herbal/menthol/basil nose. Brambly fruit, blackberry and dark cherry palate with hints of licorice and sweet oak. Paired nicely with brined, "Chef Carey" high heat methode roasted turkey only with breast/cavity intact. Cavity was stuffed with onion, garlic and quartered clementines with all of the traditional sides...... wonderful!

•90% Zinfandel, Rogers Vineyard, Contra Costa
•6% Barbera, Rogers Vineyard
•4% Petite Sirah, Bingham Ranch, Napa Valley

I've been buying, and drinking, this wine all year and can't get enough. Fruity, spicy, savory, balanced and elegant with subtle notes of strawberry and cherry. It's been a crowd pleaser for grilling and smoking, as well as a good accompiament for roasted chicken. AND it's available here for $11.20 case buy.

It was requested by True Love for our dinner tonight. As you might expect it gave gobs of fresh fruit and jam on the nose and upfront. In the middle we found more fruit and restrained pepper and spice. The finish lingered.

We matched it with tenderloin steak in bacon rasher grilled over charcoal and mesquite chips; roasted potatoes in strips that had been tossed in EVOO, and sliced Brandywine tomatoes. Yum, yum!!!]]>

This zin had just the right amount of mint (tiny amounts) on the nose with some cigar box and leather. On the palate you get a fermented cherry, fig and pomegranate rush followed by a long balanced finish.

While my notes don't sound all that amazing, I think great zins, just like Cab Francs, are hard to find, and when one is good, you load up. This is that case.]]>
