(1062 views) | | | Tasted by richardkim on 6/21/2015 & rated 92 points: Classic and enticing nose of blueberry and blackberry. The palate is intense, with brambly dark and red fruits. However the wine manages to stay well delineated. The intensity of the fruit is balanced by the acidity and fine tannins, which give the palate a tense edge. A beautiful wine. (747 views) | | | Tasted by Derek Darth Taster on 1/27/2015 & rated 90 points: Dinner at The Prawn Star (Duxton Hill): Appearance is clear, deep intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of prunes, dark red cherries, leather, cassis. Developing.
On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, high alcohol (14.5%), high tannins, full body. Pronounced flavour intensity, with flavours of sweet ripe strawberries, dark red cherries, raspberries, prunes, cassis. Some chocolate notes with more air. Long finish.
Good quality old vine Zinfandel. Nice structure and intensity. According to winemaker - this is one of the most lush Todd Brothers Ranch zins they've made in years.
Can drink now, and will improve over the next 5+ years.

Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sonoma CountyMendocino CountyAlexander Valley Alexander Valley Winegrowers Association | Wikipedia
