Interesting wine. Rumor has it that is comes from one of the old DeLoach Zinfandel vineyards. Deep in color with rich plummy fruit. Tasted against a '98 Ridge Paso Robles, it seemed to have more in common with that excellent wine than with some of the other Sonoma Zins. Only 177 cases produced, so not easily available -- in fact, this is the first bottle we've ever seen. - WB Team 2000-06-13
