Tasting notes
(74% zinfandel, 21% syrah and 5% mourvedre) Bright ruby-red. Blackberry, fruitcake and licorice on the nose; slightly porty and high-toned. Sweet and lush in the mouth, with a creamy texture to the red fruit and spice flavors. Finishes opulent and long, with sweet tannins.

The 2004 Leona’s (a 320-case blend of 74% Zinfandel, 21% Syrah, and 5% Mourvedre, and perhaps a small dollop of Alicante) offers crunchy black raspberry fruit intermixed with a floral characteristic, tangy acidity, a full-bodied palate (16.3% alcohol), refreshing vibrancy and delineation, and tremendous purity as well as depth. It is a gorgeous wine to enjoy over the next 7-8 years. the wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered after spending 16 months or more in primarily American wood barrels, of which approximately 20-30% is new. If you haven’t discovered the wines of Linne Calodo, it’s about time as this is one of the up-and-coming superstar performers in Paso Robles. Tel. (805) 227-0797
