Note di degustazione
Note to Readers: This wine was included in issue 103 in a section titled "Time and Chance Reveal All Secrets" in which Robert Parker described the characteristics of top American Zinfandels (robust, exuberant, supple, velvety-textured generosity displayed in an ostentatious manner) and emphasized the fact that they are meant to be drunk within 6-7 years of the vintage. The wines were tasted blind in December, 1995.

Very deep red in the middle; darker than the '87. Bordeaux-like aromas of fresh plum, maple syrup and brown spices, plus near-marzipan sweetness. Sweet, lush and very rich, with terrific depth and intensity of middle-palate flavor. Rather deeply pitched flavors and lovely open-knit texture. Finishes with rich, chewy tannins supported by fat fruit. Peterson says this should remain at its peak for another three to five years. 14.2% alcohol.
