2005 Portteus Zinfandel

Winery Page

You can also read a Review from Jeff for this one. We had a farewell dinner for him when he moved to San Francisco, and he brought this along to drink while we had lamb burgers at Lola.

This Zin had a nice strong flavour, and it went really well with the lamb burger. Zin goes well with lamb, it is true. What was interesting was that as the air got into this one you could really taste it transforming almost in real time. I was quite impressed with that.

I didn’t buy it, but as I recall the price was very reasonable. I recommend anybody who loves a Zin try this out.
