March 7, 2018 - Definitely not an 84-point wine - previous rating is kind of a slap in the face. My experience was quite a bit more favorable. Served from Coravin, this wine pours a dark maroon, almost more on the purple side. The nose is cherry blossom, mineral crispness, black cherry. The wine enters with perfectly ripe blue and purple fruits. Thankfully not a jammy wine. Not much acidity immediately, but started to build in the middle where more of a black cherry started to dominate. The finish has quite a bit more acidity, tannin definitely there as well but is notably soft and round. Black cherry finish. One of the better Zins I've had recently, but showing some youth that needs a little more time to integrate. Rather consistent with the 2013. Drinking well now, better in 2021.
