I had a good look at this wine again last week and was mightily impressed for a whole range of reasons. Last Year - Robert Parker from the mighty US of A was saying of the 04 "An excellent value wine, the 2004 Johanne Zinfandel possesses good fruit along with a big, peppery, briary nose displaying hints of herbs as well as resiny forest-like character. Ripe, full bodied and rich, this impressive Zinfandel should drink well for 3-5 years." 
I really rate this as a spectacular example of Zinfadel treading the mid ground between might and upfront aromatic power & elegance with structure. If that's too wordy just buy it on my recommendation, and let me know what you think, cause as Molly Meldrum says' "Do yourself a favour" and this is my best news to date for your cellar.

Cape Mentelle Zinfandel 2005

WBW Rating: 
95/100
Don't Pay: 
$49.99
Closure: 
Stelvin
Region: 
Margaret River WA
Winemaker: 
Robert Mann
Drink Now Until: 
Now - 2014
The sweet, spicy aromas evoke cardamon, vanilla beans and candied fruit. Flavours reminiscent of summer
pudding greet the palate, developing into the richer fig and Christmas cake characteristics typical of Cape
Mentelle Zinfandel. The palate is full and robust with a firm core of chalky tannins perfectly balancing the density of the wine. This zin is ready to drink or cellar for up to six years.

Only: $41.99 (Inc. GST)
