2004 Edmeades Mendocino Ridge Ciapusci Vineyard Mendocino County California. 15.3% alcohol. $8 a glass, Endless Vine, Franklin Lakes.
Deep red color, deep hue, intense aroma and taste of fruit and spice, full mouth feel, long, intense finish of fruit with hints of spice and earth. A bit hot, but a nice example of a big, intense zin. 3*+.
Regards, Bob
