Clos du Val 1998 Palisade Vineyard Zinfandel (Stags Leap District)

Country: US / Palisade Vineyard
Variety: Zinfandel California
Winery: Clos du Val / Stags Leap District

From an estate vineyard on the Silverado Trail, an exuberantly ripe, jammy Zin with enough fruit to launch the space shuttle. Raspberry and cherry dominate, with tannins as soft as silk. In fact, there’s something almost Beaujolais-like about this likable wine, except that the intense spices are a dead giveaway.
