Villa Mt. Eden 2002 Grand Reserve Mead Ranch Zinfandel

Another winner from Villa Mt. Eden! I've been a big fan of the Mt. Eden Cab, but this reserve Zin is even cheaper, and more delicious (pronounced: "mo' delicious"). If Villa Mt. Eden was single, I'd write her hopeless love notes. I'd sing her songs off-pitch that would hurt my cause but feel really good to let out. The love affair would have three stages: the nose, the body, and the finish. They'd all be fantastic, just like the bottle I'm nursing. Food would just be another competing courtier who I'd spurn. To list her "properties" would just be crass. But to give her a good rating is only fair.

91 points with an Adam and an Eve.
