Look out, it's a blockbuster !

Maybe its just hometown pride but I have to say, this is one heck of an impressive bottle from Storrs. The Lion Oaks Zinfandel is their flagship of that grape, which is saying a lot as Zins are what Storrs are all about. One of several bottlings , this 2005 Lion Oaks is a huge wine, almost like a vintage prt except for the fact that you can enjoy it with dinner, provided that the fare is up to the robust character of this wine. While it isn't cheap at $ 32.99 , it will rival many wines costing 2-3 times as much. We probably only get to drink this wine 3-4 times a year but it is very consistant from year to year. I doubt you'll find a more impressive Zin than this one . 10 swiggs.
