Peju Province Estate Bottled Zinfandel, Napa 2004

Peju Winery

Zinfandel $27.99
Napa Valley
4.5 stars

This is spicy and dry on the nose with dried red fruits, warm maple, nutty and chocolate notes. There are also some nice spicy and tannic explosions right before the clean finish. I noticed as the wine sat and breathed, the finish softened and cinnamon notes became more dominant. This is a lovely entertaining wine. I can imagine many guests loving this wine's aproachability and many wine snobs loving this zinfandel's complex flavor finish combinations.

I give this wine 4.5 star rating for it's drinkability and strong dedication to satisfying my craving for unique spicy personalities. Cheers to Peju's 2004 Zinfandel, a sultry, spicy new wine friend of mine : ) Thanks mom, for the birthday gift!

Smalls of cashews and dried fruits.

Tastes of granny smith apples, fresh grass, cranberry. Finishes with a salty dry flavor.

Wine is tangy with a rush of fruit flavor, plum/melon and a nutty dry and salt finish.
