Copain "Arrowhead Mountain" Sonoma Valley Zinfandel 2004

Red.

Earth/underbrush, celery seed, root veg nose. Far better than it sounds. Reminds me a bit of the Gigondas tasted recently.

More Pinot-like in the mouth, very light touch, but quite intensely flavored. Red fruit with acid supporting unobtrusively. Almost sweet in the mouth but acid and light tannin (reaching front teeth) keep things in check, taut. Remarkable flavor length for a New World wine that is so light.

Senor Guthrie is good. 14.5% on the label.

$35?
