2006 Novy Family Wines Zinfandel Papera Ranch - USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley (10/3/2009)
15.7% alcohol. Deep red color. Jammy nose of spicy black fruit and hints of pepper. In the mouth, lush and fruit-driven, with a gorgeous mouth feel and power that remains balanced. An explosion of fruit in the mouth, with peppery complexity and spice supporting solid acidity. Strong finish with no signs of heat. A- -

A distinctly more linear style than the Novy Papera but not without its lushness. Texturally very pleasing as the bright fruit coasts across the tongue, bolstered by plenty of spicy complexity. Strong acidity. Long finish shows a touch of tannin. A-
