Owen Roe Zinfandel 05

What a crowd pleaser! The nose combines sweet red cherry and raspberry fruit with fresh forest - a hint of the scent of swishing through fall leaves on a cold sunny winter day.

Flavors are of candied red cherry, sweet raspberry, rich, rich flavors yet uplifted by a well integrated streak of fresh fruit, hints of white pepper and spices, and a long, long finish. The '05 is more balanced wine than last year's '04, and explodes in the mouth with intense layers of fruit. An example of a Zinfandel that is at once lovely for sipping yet will work with many foods.

Grapes for this wine came from both Hillside and Erickson Road Vineyards. -jy

HUGE black fruit bomb with tremendously satisfying, rich, dense, spice, cherry, plum, black berries and toasty smoke flavors. Sooo popular last year, we sent this to our Club members and many of them called to order cases as soon as they tried it. Real crowd pleaser.
