Storybook Mountain Vineyards Eastern Exposures Zin 2005

Connoisseurs Guide to Wine 94
"The Zinfandels of Storybook Mountain are invariably wines of both structure and depth, and this latest is very much a study in point. It begins with well-filled smells of blackberries, cocoa and rich oak and follows with nicely layered flavors that are at once both intense and balanced. A rise in latter-palate tannin and acidity signals the need for a few years of age, but this one comes without any questions about its ability to mature into distinction."
