2001 Opus One Overture (USA, California, Napa Valley) Had the Opus little brother.  Definitely not Opus but I think Overture is a better value for 45 bucks than Opus is for 150.  The color of this wine was constant with Opus but ...

2004 Rosenblum Cellars Zinfandel Appellation Series San Francisco Bay (USA, California, San Francisco Bay) Very enjoyable nose.  Plum, pear, strong musty ceder and black pepper.  Color is deep purple hinting on brown.  The palate is together and has a little hot bang ...
