This time I'll put the details at the top:
Dry Creek Valley, Yoakim Bridge Zinfandel 2008, bought 3/13, $32.40 club price. 14.5% alcohol
Sorta two notes, because I can't drink a whole bottle all by myself when I have to drive.
Opened at Spinster Sisters restaurant on Wednesday. Excellent Zin, just in the right place, gained depth and keeping black fruit. Fine with carrot soup, great with sesame-crusted sweetbreads, and pleasant with a "breadcrumb fried duck egg" over black rice.
Ambrosia with Saturday spaghetti! What an aroma! And serious muscle in it.
Perhaps high alcohol isn't everything?
