2004 Mauritson Wines Zinfandel Growers Reserve - USA, California, Sonoma County, Dry Creek Valley (9/17/2008)
WIML78

Tasted September 17, 2008 at an offline.

15.5% alcohol. Purple color in the glass. clear hue throughout. Nose of currants, a bit of balsamic, boysenberry and latex paint. Flavors of berries, dried plums and white pepper sitting on top of...you guessed it...a very hot finish. Medium acidity, firm tannins, full body. Drink over the short to medium term. This wine is a hot, jumbled mess. Dumped after one sip. Do not put in mouth. (78 pts.)
