Opened last night for a wine-loving visitor from the UK who wanted to learn what Zinfandel was all about:
color: dark garnet with no browning at the edges nose: bright, tart raspberry palate: rich, slightly jammy berry fruit, full in the mouth, with a touch of cedar and mineral complexity, finishing with integrated oak.
Classic Geyserville, if not quite up to the standard of the phenomenal
1990. Still at its peak, I think that this one has at least another 3-4 years of life in it. Great stuff! The last question the visitor wanted to know was where he could get it in the UK. :-)Mark Lipton
