With 3 microclimates through the vineyard, the grapes that come off this ranch are very special, both in hard work and achieving the high quality within the vineyard. This wine is Explosive! The concentration on this wine is so rich that it is hard to believe how well the wine is in balance with fruit, oak, alcohol and acid. I must tell you after months of tasting this wine in barrel, I kept shaking my head and saying, how could this wine be better than my fabulous 2002 vintage, but it's much better and will last longer in your cellars, like great Bordeaux, and the Super Tuscans wines. I could give you my sensory evaluation on this wine, but I would run out of adjectives. You won't be disappointed in this wine or my Luvisi Ranch. ENJOY!!  As always I suggest you decant all the MARA Zin's so your first glass tastes like your last. 88 pts (WA)  While not as complete, rich, or intense as the Dolinsek, the 2005 Zinfandel Luvisi Ranch Old Vines is very good. It is a well-made effort displaying a classic Zinfandel varietal character (briery fruit, an earthy character, and decent acidity). It should be consumed over the next 2-3 years.   Robert Parker Wine Advocate # 174 Dec 2007    This is a California Wine <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/calwine" TITLE="California Wine Wines">California Wine Wines</A> <A HREF="http://www.calwine.com">California Wine</A> California Wine Online Store powered by Nexternal <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="shopping cart software">shopping cart software</A>
