NorCal Wine Nerd's Review:

This is a good wine for those of you who are looking for something mellow and smooth for a dinner party. Now more of your wine "snobs" will expect more but for the price you really can't go wrong. I enjoy this with various cheese, crackers, and apples. Of course it will hold up to a full dinner, but it is nice as a first bottle / appetizer wine.

A sad day in a reviewers life is when a great Zin like this one is gone. The good news is that I still have some '98 and '03 left of this wonderful wine. The '98 is about done (meaning it is not gonna get any better), and will be finished off soon. Again I would recommend a good cut of red meat on the grill for this one. As for the '03....hmmm well that is a different story all together. Still has a nice spice to it with some flavors of ripe cherries, hint of tobacco, and is a little earth, but it pairs fantastically with chocolate. If you have a bottle of '03 treat yourself and a loved one to a nice night in with some dark chocolate and a bottle of the '03 Clarke Zin, you never know where it will lead to....
