2003 Flowers Perennial

[winoweenie]

Know I've posted on this hummer summherz but can't find it. One of the constantly exciting blends yuearly from this super producer. Brite medium ruby. Spicy, berry, flowery nose that comes over on the palate. A tad of vanilla and solid red and black fruits with the ever-elusive "bramble-berry"
showing up. Seems to be settling down and the grapes integrating more with some time. Not sure of the blend but know there's Zin, Cab, and either Merlot or Cab Franc in the blend. Solid everywhere in the mouth with a 3&3/4 lapper finish. 90/89. 32 by the box. 14.2% alc. WW

Their web site says it has 65% Pinot Noir, 24% Pinot Meunier, 10% Syrah and 1% Chardonnay. There's no Zin, no Cab Sauv, no Merlot and no Cab Franc. Don't know what you're tasting there, ww.
