Every now and then I reach into the wine fridge and pull out something that amazes me. Tonight it was the 1998 Moss Creek Zinfandel. Now, I'm no dope so if I bought it, there's something interesting about it in the first place. This thing has probably been there longer than I'd like to admit. I don't remember when or where I bought it. I think I got it from the little place on the right of Highway 29 just past Sequoia. Or maybe at Sequoia and it was one of those places that also marketed another winery's product.
It's got that old wine feel. Hell, I'm drinking a 9 year old Zinfandel. It's got that older wine color and it's big, huge with cherries. Very soft mouthfeel, has certainly aged well and has that eloquent feel that older wine should. I had it with a grilled filet mignon and roasted potatoes and it was exquisite.
