The 2003 Zinfandel Monte Rosso boasts a complex perfume of licorice, black cherries, mountain berries, and truffles. It possesses copious tannin and acidity as well as a more backward style, loads of freshness and a large-framed body. Not as juicy as the Aldo’s Vineyard, it is more terroir-driven with abundant minerality. It should drink well for 5-7 years or more.
