Tablas Creek & Martinelli
With smoked port ribs this weekend I opened:
2005 Martinelli Jackass Hill Zinfandel- a whopping 17%+ alcohol on the label was not evident in the nose or on the palate. Reddish purple in the glass with a briary nose of cherries and blackberries. Very smooth on the palate with a bit of tannins still hanging on the finish. No heat from the alcohol and fairly ripe flavors of berries, sage and black pepper. Nicely done. B+ 2009 Tablas Creek Esprit de Beaucastel-Nice aroma of crushed berries, cassis a bit of smoke and black dirt. Rich red fruit flavors a little spice and typical Rhonish iron and beef blood on the finish. B+ |
