Lynch 2002 Canis Major Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

$24
Quite fragrant, with complex aromas of chocolate, black cherry, raspberry, herbs and spice. They extend along the palate as well. The wine is fairly full bodied, but serves up good acidity for a balanced quaff. On the finish, it’s framed in toasty oak and pretty vanilla, finishing long and lush. From winemaker Brenda Lynch, also of Mutt Lynch.

Beautifully balanced, with an intensely flavored core of black cherry, black currant, coffee, spice, herb and hints of chocolate. Tannins are supple, yet firm, and frame the wine with elegance. Toasty and lush on the finish. Good price; great wine.
