Zintastic!

I opened up one of my Armida 2005 Maple Zins tonight. I wish I was better at describing wines but I'm not so I'll rely on the website description which fits perfectly: "This is a big rich Zinfandel, characteristic of Dry Creek Valley with its earthy, almost dusty nose, with a touch of spice. The wine is balanced with dark cherry and ripe berry fruit that pops out of the glass. The mouth-feel is enhanced by allspice and vanilla notes, with a big, sweet, round velvety finish." So true. According to the Arimida website, it has sold out so you won't be able to get any. But if you're ever at my house, ask if I have any left. I'll be happy to share. And you'll love it.
