Windwalker Zinfandel Sierra Foothills 2005

Red.

Nice, fresh aromas of spicy raspberry, pepper and sawn (red?)wood (not from oak). Smells plush.

It is. Sweet, round and mouth-filling. Fragrant, fresh sawn wood character repeats, now reminds me of balsa, as does the raspberry aspect. Acidity is the primary structural agent - tannin is fine - but eventually reaches the front teeth. Excellent concentration and very good length.

This is really good stuff.

Day 4 - This has lost nothing. Still round and mouth-filling, with fragrant wood character evident. Nice framing acidity.


$25? Gift
