Trentadue Winery-La Storia-Zinfandel-Alexander Valley Estate-California-2006-$17.98-A big rich nose of plum and spice, dark black purple in color.  A full bodied big rich Zin, plum, blackberry, spice and sage, a good value.    Third time I have tried in last couple months, a solid Zin.          RP-90                 WS-86               WE-84                 CR-4-4.5                Good with meats, chicken, pasta.

Bodegas Y Vinedos De Murcia-Altos Del Cuco-Monastrell-Syrah-Tempranillo-Spain-2007-$5.99-A nose of raisin and spice, dark black in color.  A wine that I enjoyed six months ago, now well past it’s prime, had that turned bad taste.            NR          CR-2.5           Would have been good with chicken, ribs, pasta.
