2005 John Tyler Zinfandel
Awarded 89 points from the Wine Enthusiast "The vineyard is virtually in Dry Creek Valley, so it's not surprising to find the briary, brambly intensity of that warm Sonoma appellation. It's a good, lush, likeable Zin, brimming with wild berry, leather, tobacco and pepper spice flavors swimming in firm dry tannins."

Tasting notes
Moderate temperatures through harvest allowed the development of deep, rich flavors and color, the ideal growing season. This wine exhibits notes of juicy boysenberry and black raspberry with slight earthy overtones. Vibrant fruit characteristics mingled with some spice. Full and concentrated in the mouth, the finish is thick, lush with building tannins and the promise of great age ability.
