R.H. Philips Zinfandel 2004

Esparto, CA. 14.5%
92% Zin, 8% Petite Sirah

Smoke and spice with some alcohol and that berry jam of Zin on the nose. A bit of rust on the fringe color-wise. Softer and smoother flavors than a complex Zin. Some smoke and spice in the finish. Lingers with nice dry fruit leather and roast nut elements to finish. Decent and drinkable Zin. Too bad it appears it was phased out by the winery instead of improved.
