Silver Fox 2002 Zinfandel
We opened a bottle of Silver Fox ( http://www.silverfoxwine.com/Index.html ) this past weekend. Silver Fox is located near Yosemite at an elevation of 3,000 ft. We enjoyed the 2002 Zinfandel which is a blend of mostly Zin with a bit of Syrah. The wine had a nice berry taste and spicy finish. We enjoyed this while camping and eating BBQ Tri Tip…it went well together. I don’t know where I got this bottle, but I see it online for $11 at the winery. Well worth the $. I would encourage you to let this breathe for 20-30 minutes before drinking, as the first taste hit me a bit hard, but it really opened up after a short time. We had a bit left over the next day, and it was not as good, so drink this one in one sitting.
