  April 28, 2024 - Plum, dust, chalk and dried blueberries. Sweeter but not a fruit bomb. Lots of staying power drink now.

  February 22, 2024 - This is my first bottle of this vintage of Pagani and it was well worth the wait. A nearly opaque deep plum red in the glass. The nose is classic Zin with brown sugar, a hint of rhubarb, Zin funk, coffee, thyme, black pepper, and maybe a bit of mocha. They all come through distinctly on the palate, but what was surprising was the strawberry note on both the nose and palate. Strawberry is not usually an element I detect in Zin, but it was clearly present here and delightfully so. Excellent mouthfeel; well balanced. A blend of 80% Zin, 17% Alicante Boushet, and 3% Petite Sirah but no Mouvedre. A line of sediment from the neck down the back to the base and a ring around the neck. 14.8% alc. With the first chili of the year. 02.22.24. Recommended.

  December 15, 2023 - My highest scoring zin to date. This site is special. Intense concentration while still being decidedly medium bodied. Secondary and tertiary notes coming at you left and right here with just 9 years of bottle age. Structure here suggests there’s at least another 15 good years on this wine too, so no rush. I will be hunting down some old bottles of these. Beautiful, beautiful expression of Zinfandel. Just outstanding.
