The saturated opaque black/purple-colored 1997 Zinfandel Jimsonare (100% Zinfandel) achieved 14.8% alcohol. It boasts enormously rich, massive, blackberry and cherry flavors, rustic tannin, and a gigantic, monster finish that lasts for over 30 seconds. The wine exhibits copious quantities of toasty oak. It is quite concentrated and immense, but is only slightly evolved. Another 6-8 months of bottle age should bring forth more definition and secondary nuances. Moreover, this Zinfandel should age well for 8-10 years.Tel. (408) 867-3233
