"Production of the 1999 Zinfandel Guiseppe and Luisa (made from the same clone planted in the Jackass Hill Vineyard) is a whopping 1,600 cases. The dense plum/purple color is accompanied by a glorious perfume of jammy blackberry and cassis fruit, an unctuous, opulent texture, high glycerin . . . and a dry, long, dense, pure finish. This is a stunning, flamboyant Zinfandel elixir . . ."
