Note di degustazione
The 2005 Zinfandel Tom Feeney Ranch, which is 89% Zinfandel and 11% mixed blacks (Alicante and Petite Sirah) tips the scales at a whopping 15.9% alcohol, so Mike Officer must have picked unbelievably late in this cool year to get that kind of maturity. The wine displays some black raspberry and cherry with some underlying soil notes as well as hints of white chocolate, pepper, and spice. It is not as powerful as the Bacchi, but it is a top-flight Zinfandel.

Deep ruby. Smoky cherry and plum compote aromas with complicating notes of smoked meat, licorice and espresso. Dense and chewy, with powerful bitter cherry and dark berry flavors and an exotic hint of cocoa powder. Really muscular right now, finishing with firm tannins and a touch of cracked pepper.
