The 1989, which has not been released, appears to have the same weight as the 1988, but less up-front fruit. It may just need more time in the bottle to come out of its shell. There is good color, plenty of peppery, berry fruit, and a moderately long finish. It is a shame only 2,000 cases of this Howell Mountain Zinfandel are produced because it deserves more attention than it receives. Tel. 707-965-2488.
