Even better is the brilliant 2006 Zinfandel, which boasts fabulous ripeness along with a full-bodied, tarry, briery nose revealing plenty of pepper, spice, black cherries, and berry fruit. This full-bodied, dense, bargain-priced Zin includes 5% Alicante Bouchet in the blend. Joel Gott, the brilliant restaurateur (think of Taylor’s Refresher in St. Helena as well as San Francisco ... America’s best hamburgers and Ahi burgers), also produces wines under the capable guidance of his talented winemaker/wife, Sarah.Tel. (707) 963-3365
