Clos du Bois Zinfandel Sonoma County

The nose is still good (blackberry, black cherry, raisin, spice), but it's fading some on the palate. Seems a little flat, despite still reasonably high acidity. Tannins are a bit chalky. Still quite drinkable, but it's going downhill.

This continues to be a very nice Zin - in fact it's getting better. Lots of red berry & cherry on the nose and dark cherry on the palate. Great balance and long finish. Tannin level has mellowed and is quite smooth.

Jammy raspberry and vanilla nose. Taste is more blackberry, cherry, with pepper and oak. Generally a nice balance and finish. This wine is very food-sensitive - a tad acidic with some foods (like tomato based pasta sauce), but not so with cheese or meat dishes. It mellows after some time decanting or in the glass. A nice, tasty Zin.
