From the Mendocino Ridge appellation, the 1998 Zinfandel Zeni Vineyard (16.5% alcohol) exhibits a dark ruby color with amber at the edge. The nose is reminiscent of an Asian restaurant, with scents of soy, smoked duck, plums, and assorted black fruits. Ripe and deep, with a slight hotness, this heady wine requires consumption over the next 5-6 years. Low acidity gives the wine an extremely forward feel. Tel. (707) 547-4751
