Wine Review: Castoro Cellars Zinfandel: Paso Robles 2002 [My Rating, 8] Solid 8 - A very nice and easy to drink Zin. This pared well with food and was not a real monster Zin, as folks expect from Paso Robles.
Wine Review: Zinfandel: Burrell School, 2002 Ryan Oaks Vineyard, Amador County [My Rating, 8] 8 - Surprisingly good, not a monster Zin as in the Paso Zins. A nice wine to drink.
Wine Review: Terrabianca 2001 [My Rating, 8.5] Campaccio, a Super Tuscan Blend, 70% Sangiovese 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. According to Wine Spectator:
Spectator 91 Pts: "Wonderful aromas of plums, berries and vanilla. Medium- to full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a pretty toasted oak and vanilla aftertaste. Very smoky finish. Always outstanding. Best after 2006. 14,330 cases made."
- James Suckling, Wine Spectator, 10/15/04
Almost too smoky for our tastes. It was good, and different, but not one of our favorites. All of what Suckling said is true. It was a great tasting experience.
