Grgich Hills 2004 Zinfandel

The aroma of spicy, peppery raisins soaked in Dr. Pepper, but in a good way. This is classic, peppery California zinfandel, yet the blue fruits of the 7% petit sirah add an even greater sense of richness. The mid-palate isn’t nearly as sweet as the nose suggests, likely the result of substantial tannins that need some time to mellow out. You don’t have to wait, though: An hour in the decanter will work just fine.
