Very similar to the 1994, with perhaps a little less power. The nose is a complex mixture of dark cherries and blackberries with some herbal touches. Nice body and mouth feel, solid finish. As always with the Rossi Ranch, on a completely different calibration curve from the typical fat and open-knit Zinfandel. More like a Cabernet in feel than a Zin, but good stuff. Like the '90 and '94 Rossi's, definitely better than anything produced in the latter half of the 90's. - WB Team 2000-06-27
