Green and Red Zinfandel (2006 Chiles Canyon Vineyard)

http://www.greenandred.com/

I became a fan of  Green and Red's Zinfandel after my first sip.  The wine is a beautiful ruby red color.  It has a grapey (but not jammy) and spicy nose.  The tannins didn't coat my mouth, but rather stayed at the tip of my tongue.  The Zin has lingering spicy notes and a nice spicy finish.  It is definitely a big wine, but it mellows considerably once opened.  The wine is somewhat hard to find (the winery only produced 2200 cases), but you can order it at Green and Red's website.
