2000 Ridge Pagani Ranch

[winoweenie]

This blend of 88% Zin, 9% Alacante Bouschet, and 3% Petite Syrah needs another 2-4. The nose took 1&1/2 hours to open with all of the forward berry, brambly, spicy, and cacoa flavors also coming over into the taste. The over 100 year old vines produce a very concentrated bottle. The 15% alc is hadly noticable. A really super zin that deserves more time. 91/88.35 by the box. WW
