Linne Calodo Cellars-Leona’s-Zinfandel-Mourvedre-Alicante-Syrah-Paso Robles-California-2006-$45.00-A nose of dark fruit and spice, dark purple in color.  A big wine, full bodied,  raspberry, black cherry,  liquor like, Rhone style, decant, 15.9% alcohol makes it a little hot but the levels of flavor keep it together.   I visited Linne Calodo a few years back, they are making some of the best Zin and Rhone style blends in the world.             RP-91             CR-4.5               Good with steak, chicken, pasta.
