Edmeades Winery Zinfandel Mendocino County 2004

Winemaker's Notes:

"Red Wine Zinfandel by Edmeades from North Coast, California. More classic, the deep ruby-colored 2001 Zinfandel Mendocino exhibits a smorgasbord of aromas, including resiny pine forest notes, black currants, cherry jam, licorice and incense.

Edmeades Winery:
The first row of vines were barely in the ground when the neighbors began lining up to lean on their shovels and scoff. Grapes in Anderson Valley? Nobody could make it work, they insisted. The naysayers grew so vocal that Dr. Donald Edmeades dragged some old redwood planks out from behind the barn, found some red paint, and christened his vineyard with a sign out on Highway 128: "Edmeades' Folly."

Clear, purple, medium color. Hints of cherry, coffee, oak, vanilla. Good fruit up front, medium acid, mod. Tannin with long finish. Very nice zinfandel. Fairly tannic and a little young, might benefit from some aging.

A voluptuous Zinfandel. It has a big nose, a velvety mouthfeel, it offers white pepper against dark and red fruit. The baance of fruit, acidity, and tannin was impeccable. It was still great 5 years after bottling.

Carries the aromas of cherry, dark berries, spine, and a hint of coffee. Very earthen taste.

The 2004 Zinfandel Piffero Vineyard reveals significant toasty oak along with sweet cherry, kirsch liqueur, and spice notes. Medium to full-bodied and upfront, this attractive Zin can be consumed over the next 4-5 years.
