Windwalker, Primitivo, Shady Lady, Amador County 2004

Deep red.

Deep cherry jam/kirsch aromatics with a nice earth/oak component. Another Zin (Primitivo clone) that reminds me a bit of Priorat.

Sweet and intense in the mouth, with packed red raspberry coulis flavors. Even has the astringency/flavor of raspberry seeds.
Acidity is strong here too, with more tannin than the SF Zin. Nothing crazy though. Slight heat, but who cares? Very long raspberry finish.

Man, this is good.

Day 4 - A bit muddled on the nose, but deep. Retains its depth in the mouth too, with late, acid-edged raspberry seed character lifting relatively thick palate. Seems more concentrated than the SF Zin, but a bit duller.

$30? Gift
