Note di degustazione
(68% zinfandel, 20% syrah and 12% mourvedre) Deep ruby-red. High-toned, rather porty aromas of spicecake and chocolate. Concentrated and sweet, with port-like flavors of black fruits and spicecake. Has enough acidity for balance but this is distinctly high-toned. (A second bottle was a bit more oxidative.)

The 2004 The Outsider (380 cases) is a Syrah-dominated blend produced from north-facing slopes. It reveals surprisingly high acidity for a wine of such great fruit and richness. Beautiful black raspberry, black cherry, earth, licorice, pepper, and incense aromas are followed by an opulent, rich, fleshy, vibrant, well-delineated wine that should drink well for at least 7-8 years. Readers should not forget the Linne Calodo Zinfandel-dominated wines recommended in issue #164, the 2004 Cherry Red ($48; 95 points), 2004 Leona’s ($42; 91+ points), and 2004 Problem Child ($42; 92 points).
