Copain, Zinfandel, Arrowhead Mountain, Sonoma Valley 2004

Deep red.

Vibrant balsa wood, spice, earth and cran/raspberry aromas. Hint of celery.

Bright and deep in the mouth, with celery adding interest to earth/spice/cranberry flavors. NIce mid-palate density and flavor flow. Acid-driven chew coats the front teeth. Long finishing flavors of balsa, citrus zest and spice.

Very interesting stylistic contrast to the Ridge Geyserville.

Day 4 - More savory on the nose now, celery gone. Intense red fruit and balsa in the mouth, no sense of weight. Reminds me of Turley's better stuff. Could drink a ton of this.
