2003 R Nostra Vino Vineyard Amador

[winoweenie]

Another newbie to me. Close to the 120 year old Grandpere vineyard. Brite medium ruby. High red fruits, white pepper, and vanilla. All come across on the palate with a dash of cinnamon. Solid entry, weighty center, and a nice 3&3/4ths lapper finish. Could use another 1-2 for tannin resolution. 88/87. 24 by the box. 14.5% alc. WW ( The grapes are grown by Tom Dillon and the wine is the product of Jeff Runquist. )

I really liked the R Petite Sirah and will watch for the Zinfandel.
