Dessert last night

After our light supper of soup, we decided to have a ‘light’ dessert - TJ’s Jumbo Raisin Medley with a mix of Whole Foods Deluxe Mixed Nuts and Mesilla Valley Pecan halves. Enjoyable with the nut/raisin combination was an early entry into the Dusi Zin tasting early next month - 1999 Ridge Dusi Ranch Zinfandel - dark purplish ruby in color; bright nose and flavors of earthy dark berries; mid-palate with ok acidity, spicy dark fruit, and a bit of dry tannin with just the nuts, but the tannins were tempered with the raisins; and a long fruity, slightly tannic finish.
