The Sherpa Zinfandel 2004  

Beautifully inviting color coming from the very small and thick skinned red berries we get on that block of GH. The bouquet starts with a bright and fresh nose of raspsberry immediately followed by a very intense and deep nuances of red fruit and spices. That nose is so typical of the lushes California Zinfandel.

In the mouth, the wines expands and fills it up pretty fast. It is round, ample and rich with a nice velvety character. The fruits come at first, the spices follow and then both blend in the finish. The oak delivers some nice flavors of vanilla which add to the overall complexity and tone of this true California child.

The wine is a good example of that vineyard, steep slopes, warm during the days but cold at night protect the flavors and the structure to make it fruit driven but complex, rich but balanced, full yet elegant.
Enjoy!
