Wine Details
Price:
$28.00 per bottle
Description:
“Elegant” is a relative term when applied to Zinfandel, but elegant is indeed an appropriate descriptor for this wine. Brambles & black pepper with rich black fruit, complex with wild rosemary & wafting notes of citrus flowers decadently crushed under linen sheets. A fine opera, & as subtle as Wagner’s The Valkyrie, conducted by Bacchus & performed by Frank Zappa & Tom Waits on a soft mid-summer’s night on the isle of Corfu. The Le Cuvier 2000 Zinfandel is a blend of Zins made from five west side Paso Robles vineyards [35.33% Kiler Creek vineyard, 20.59% Martinelli Vineyard, 20.39% McGourty Vineyard, 16.17% Beckwith Vineyard, & 7.52% Tonesi Vineyard]. Ageability: someday we will know, won’t we? An initial bottling of 200 cases was done in September 2003, which means that approximately 200 additional cases of the 2000 blend is still in barrel & will be permitted to slumber in sweet peace for an undetermined period of further aging (surely a year or two longer) before bottling.
