2005 CG Di Arie - Zinfandel Southern Exposure

The densest, most elegant of this trio is the 2005 Zinfandel Southern Exposure, which is a blend of 89.8% Zinfandel and the rest Petite Sirah. Its deep ruby color is accompanied by a finesse-styled nose of cherry and raspberry fruit interwoven with notions of incense, roasted herbs, new saddle leather, and licorice. Medium-bodied with excellent to outstanding concentration, and a dry, reasonably good finish, it will drink well for 3-4 years. Tel. (530) 620-6500; Fax (530) 620-6505
