2000 Zinfandel


Appellation: Sonoma County
Owner/Winemaker: Chris Bilbro
Released September 1, 2002

Robert Parker said the 1999 Zinfandel is "An excellent, full-bodied (14.5% alcohol) Zinfandel with plenty of peppery, briery fruit, and more elegance than many of its peers." 89 points.

The 2000 is more supple and lush on the palate with a slight tannin rim centering the fruit. Ripe blackberries, rich fruit cake and toasty oak flavors dominate this unctuous palate filling, offering that will age easily 3-5 years, but is hard to leave alone now.
