The 2004 Zinfandel La Storia is a dark ruby/purple-tinged, classic Zin with copious quantities of black cherries, raspberries, and currants intermixed with hints of spicy wood, heady alcohol (15%), enough acidity to provide definition and uplift, and a full-bodied, concentrated palate with no hard edges. Drink it over the next 3-5 years.
Parker - 91pts.
A seductive and vigorous Zinfandel, with smoky black cherry and blueberry aromas and youthful wild berry, sage and cracked pepper flavors that have a lingering finish and zesty tannins. Drink now through 2012.
