"The outstanding 2004 Zinfandel Block 11 Pocai Vineyard reveals strawberry, cherry, plum, and blueberry fruit characteristics interwoven with a notion of spice box. Medium-bodied, intense, complex, savory, elegant, and impeccably well-balanced, it should provide abundant pleasure over the next 3-4 years."

"Luscious, smooth, complex, complete, round, voluptuous, the adjectives go on and on with this incredibly ripe Zin. It’s fully dry, with amazing blackberry tea, cherry pie, mocha, root beer and spice flavors, but be forewarned: the alcohol is a whopping 16.7%."
