Golly - I had a photo here yesterday of us Snoothers standing on a creek bridge along the Zinfandel Trail. Where'd it go? Well, you can also find it on twitpic: http://rurl.org/1myd.

"Thanks, Gregory! I happened to notice nobody had reviewed that particular 707 yet, so I copied in some notes I had. Wish I had another - right about 3 hours from now!"

Medium garnet color, outstanding aromas of cedar, cola, tobacco, cassis, and a little vanilla. Seemed quite Syrah-like. Moderate acidity, great structure and power, a very likable libation. My...

winehiker reviewed Cascina Adelaide Langhe Rosso Jula 2001. (5/5)
On Jul 20, 2007

Starting at $30.10 Snoothrank: 2/5
