2020 Buena Vista Zinfandel The Deputy

California more

2/16/2024 - FlickWines Does not like this wine: NR

Stated as "California" Zin wine, so grapes from wherever in the state. This specific blend is "limited" to 1K cases, so it seems special. Pours like an inexpensive "glass of red."
Cranberry color, light-medium body. Spice, black & red fruit on the nose, plus light metallic. Palate starts with a sting on the tongue I found unpleasant. Then the generic berries and spice. Short finish fading to metallic. We found the wine fairly simple, flat.
It was fine paired with seasoned salmon meal, but I quit it when the food was gone. I don't like it. Glad it was our only bottle.

Deep rich Red color. Full nose of Cabernet Sauvignon flavors, Plum, Blackberry, Chocolate inviting you to take a taste. Outstanding full palate high lights with delicious mouthfeel and very soft tannins. Great wine to share with experienced wine tasters as a new find. Great now, should be excellent in 2 to 5 years in a good cellar, 8 years or more in a great cellar condition.

It’s okay now. We bought 2 bottles at the winery a few years back. We still have a bottle. I don’t think I’d buy it again at the $65 price point, but it was good.

Immediately after opening, intense cherries, black plums, cocoa. But it's all in the front two thirds of the mouth and fades rapidly as it moves back, with very little aftertaste. With time in the glass this fades even more, and then ultimately fades catastrophically. The score reflects the wine at its best, immediately after opening. All of my instincts are that this wine is going to deteriorate very rapidly with additional cellaring. If you have this in your cellar, my personal feeling is that you should use this either for a big party (soon!) or as a cooking wine, where, for the next year or maybe two, I'd imagine it would be lovely. [Tasted over more than an hour and a half from the Jancis Robinson glass.]

Nicely made wine, but I expected more as their top Cab.

Smooth and supple with dark fruits on the front and middle. Finish was nice but light tannins. For me, it had too much of the green pepper/herbal flavor; in a 10-year-old wine, it, usually, is moderated.

I am sitting here utterly floored sipping this 8 year old, $8 bottle of Pinot Noir. We bought it as a tasty drink anytime decent value. But what I never dreamed was this wine would magnificently improve with age, to become as good as Pinot Noirs costing three times as much. The color is now a deep ruby. The taste expanded from red cherry to add black cherry and pomegranate. The acidity is bright and lively, with structuring tannins and a rounded texture. The wine has now made the cut to be in the weekly rotation of wines to drink with lunch and dinner, where wines under $20 are rare and wines under $10 were previously nonexistent.

Cami says…Ripe red fruit on the nose, with mild cracked peppercorns. A faint whiff of fatigued leather.

Subtle acid and young cherries followed by a new tannin finish which balances out this slightly complex Zin.

For me, Zin’s have been less complex until sipping this private reserve tonight.

This wine is exceptionally well balanced with fruit and spice and a long finish Pairs well with many foods ( Cora Vin'd over several weeks) Italian, Beef, cheeses. Just a very good value at this price point, wish I had bought more at Costco while it was on sale.

Pop and pour...
Nice wine with dark fruit on the nose and palette
First glass was little dry and tight at first but opens up and second glass is more fruit forward with a smoother finish.

Marginal aroma of dark fruit. Some acidity giving way to blackcurrant, plum, and dry earth and dust. Minimal tannins.

This was really good from the get go. Got progressively better over a few hours. Fruit is very enjoyable with moderate tannin and length. I see this getter better in a few more years as the rest of the alcohol becomes integrated. I see the 2019 is scoring well too. Will be picking those up! 4.2 stars.
