Rodney Strong - 2006 Knotty Vines Zin

This Wine is a switch from my normal big, bold angry red. It taste like summer, with the appearance of a garnet sunshine. It is comfortable with a salad loaded with fresh basil, radish, Swiss chard, pepper and light dressing. It also matched well with a peppery steak.

Nose...When this was first opened, it was black cherry and that was it. It opened up to reveal an almost tropical botanical garden, with hints of raspberry and blackberry and a bit of cedar. Plenty of spice with cocoa lingering about.

Legs...Long and power full, with a grip that is hard to release, this is very enjoyable with a price under $20.00.
When you not in the mood for an angry red...you know something a little less feisty, you can enjoy this wine without waking up in the morning puzzled by the events of the past evening. Enjoy for the next 2 or 3 years.
