A blockbuster, compelling effort is the 2004 Zinfandel Vineyard 101. No shy wine at 16.3% alcohol, it boasts an inky/purple color in addition to fabulous ripeness, great intensity, a remarkable, rich, full-bodied style, plenty of peppery blackberry and cherry fruit, huge body, and a succulence that comes across like a great Pomerol from Bordeaux. This intriguing example is completely different from the 2003 Vineyard 101, which I have enjoyed over the last six months or so. Look for the 2004 to evolve for 7-8 years. (Release date 4/06) Tel.
