I am not sure I haven't under-rated this wine. It exhibits a dark ruby color, a pure, ripe, cherry/raspberry fruitiness, a seamless, silky texture, medium to full body, and a luscious finish. It is all fruit, beautifully captured without any excesses. Drink this soft, smooth Zinfandel over the next 3-4 years.NOTE: All the wines in this article were tasted in May, 1996.Tel. (707) 965-2346
