  • 2009 Congruence Zinfandel - USA, California, Sonoma County, Dry Creek Valley (4/29/2012)
    I like where this has gone. pretty dark cranberry color. Sweet nose of bright red fruits; red raspberries, violets and white pepper. Mouthfeel is very nice indeed. Theres some crushed stone, sassafras, sandalwood and exotic tea. Its got great balance and verve. Perfect for a sitting out by the Weber waiting for dinner to finish. Hints of elegance and class are in there too. Finish is nice and red bright fruits remain in control. tannins are in control, but friendly and acidity is spot-on for this. Well done! (91 pts.)

Q: Sounds good, but is it worth the $75 price?

It was well worth what I paid, and I think that was 30 bucks.

oh, and welcome! [cheers.gif]

I tasted the 08 and 09 Cab at PDH in March with the winemaker. Delicious juice.
