Hartford "Highwire" Zinfandel 2004 (RRV)

Purple/red.

Fragrant, fresh nose - red raspberry, cola, earth and oak spice.

Sweet entry of raspberry liqueur ( very ripe fruit - 16.2%), then a bit spiky in the mid-palate and finish. Acidity is sound, with light tannin.

Day 2 - Very attractive, but the acidity here really clamps down in the finish. Not sure this will ever sing.


$30
