2005 Bear Bottom Creek - Zinfandel North Coast

Not an overpowering zin, not a particularly grapey or velvety--just a good solid zin, comparable to Ravenswood vintner blend. Low tannins.

Day 1: good, nice fruit
Day 2: good, nice fruit
Day 3: good, nice fruit

Conclusion: consistent zin flavor and fruit over three days.
