2008 California Shenandoah Valley Jake's Vineyard Zinfandel
Villa Toscano

Old vines from a single vineyard grown on red clay at around 1500 ft.

2009 tasting - (from the barrel) Slightly purple in color, this wine has a bouquet that is a bit chemy and a chewy flavor which needs time to balance. The dry aftertaste, however, exhibits the mountain terroir which shows the wine's potential.
