THE 2003 DUTCH HENRY ZINFANDEL
from Rutherford, Napa Valley grapes is, technically, not yet released. But we had a previoooo tasting over lunch at the winery, and it's worth getting. $38.00. Spicy and intense. Blueberry, spice and slightly toasted oak. Yum. Check out the Dutch Henry website and join their Wine Club for one of Napa Valley's greatest relative secrets.

The DH Zin was indeed very fruity with a very nice spice at the finish. However, one noted wine critic stated that the oak was "roasted," and not "toasted" as you describe.
However, this particular critic was underwhelmed at the, um, views at the vineyard. This, plus the lack of a second bottle to test, might have led to his particular word choice.
Views - when a single man comments that the most feminine thing in Napa is a female German Shephard. I think he is more likely to be critical about everything other than the quantities of wine.
Hah, Jim. And no wonder our mutual friend to whom you refer persistently remains ... single. And what does he know? He said, "roasted" ... not "toasted."
And, Dear Mutual Friend who no doubt is reading this, shouldn't you be doing a check-up with the eye doctor? Particularly when it affects your wine tasting ability?
