91 ST.
"From richer soil than the Rattlesnake Ridge. Deep red with ruby highlights. Enticing aromas of raspberry liqueur and cracked pepper. Creamy, fat and sweet, with a distinctly liqueur-like character complicated by a whiff of meat. Next to the comparatively ethereal Rattlesnake Ridge zin, this is distinctly richer . . . not to mention riper and larger-scaled." Vinous, May 2007 |
