The 2004 La Storia Zinfandel is a dark ruby/purple-tinged, classic Zin with copious quantities of black cherries, raspberries, and currants intermixed with hints of spicy wood, heady alcohol (15%), enough acidity to provide definition and uplift, and a full-bodied, concentrated palate with no hard edged. Drink it over the next 3-5 years.
