"This very interesting Zinfandel comes from the Kidd Ranch in St. Helena. In 2005 I was lucky enough to purchase this fruit that came in at over 30 Brix and over 1.0 gm/100 mL total acidity, (these are numbers like you see in Auslese Riesling from Germany). I had only about 2 tons of the fruit so I decided to let it go and make a sweet wine."---------- The 2005 Late Harvest Zinfandel has an intense strawberry, black berry jam nose. The very lush, slightly sweet mouth has flavors of fresh strawberries and dried cherries, with hints of spice. This wine finishes with a crisp fruity blast. The light sweetness is balanced by the crisp natural acidity. This is a wonderful wine to have with a cheese course or some simple summer fruits.
