de loach reaches into lake county, not usually thought of as zinfandel country, with tremendous results. this is a great wine by any standard. it shows some heat from high alcohol and some shriveled raisin tastes, but that's part of a ripe zin's charm. mostly, you'll be impressed by waves of sweetly ripe berries, chocolate and bacon, smooth tannins and a long, spicy finish.
