this single-vineyard zinfandel manages to rein its wild power, taming it down and allowing the wine to feel elegant. that's not so easy, when you have a wine with such high alcohol and superripe fruit. the wild blueberry and blackberry fruit has a brambly edge, but the tannin-acid balance is fine. drink over the next eight years as the wine subtlely loses fruit and gains earthy complexities.
