Underbrush, herbs, plums, figs, blueberries, and cherries jump from the glass of the exotic and flamboyant 2002 Pinot Noir Zio Tony Ranch. This wine has a deep plum/ruby/purple-tinged color, a wonderful sweet entry on the palate, ripe but noticeable tannins, and a large, full-bodied finish. It is not the most elegant style, but it is pure and impressively endowed. Drink it over the next 5-7 years.
