Starts off with bright raspberry notes in the nose. On the palate, it’s fruity and spicy, with a blend of cherry, plum, cinnamon, toast and vanilla flavors.

Franus Zinfandel - 2001

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Mount Veeder has shown itself to be one of the greatest homes of Zin, and this stunning wine is proof. Has the most amazing blackberry, blueberry and black cherry fruit, held in check by firm but smooth tannins. Completely dry, at the cost of high alcohol, but remains balanced and flashy.

This well-made wine has polished flavors of currants, herbs and spices, elaborated with smoky oak. The tannins are lush and sweet. It’s so well structured that you wish it were more concentrated.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Here’s a generous Cab that offers ripe blackcurrant, plum, herb and mocha flavors, and a good amount of toasty oak. It’s very dry, with smooth, dusty tannins. Finishes with a bit of astringency, but may soften up in a few years.
