Quivira 2006 Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley

Tasting Notes - Bright berries, briar and wisps of pepper and rich earth show in the nicely concentrated, slightly juicy aromas of this well-focused young Zinfandel, and fruit takes the lead in the wine's lightly woodsy, very solidly varietal flavors as well. If fairly ripe, the wine is balanced and not at all hot on the palate, and its firming twist of last-minute acids ensures a few years of positive growth.
