July 5, 2022 - Consistent and slightly better than last one, silkier but good amount of throw at bottom Day 2 so be careful - seems at peak and suggest drinking fairly soon.

August 29, 2021 - Pretty ruby-purple hue and fairly clear. With decanting and time in glass the aromatics express sweet bramble berry, vanilla-mocha, and mild dusty spices. Similar flavors with a bit more dark fruit, maybe plums?, and coffee notes, with some peppery baking spice, tannins present but fairly softened and ligther in body. Slight amount of heat and maybe a bit thin on the finish but nice overall package. Will revisit Day 2 to confirm TN.

April 26, 2020 - This is how I like my zins. Tart blackberry bramble, black cherry, peppery baking spices, and then a hint of warm spiced plum. There is a mineral/herbal component that is hard to identify, followed lastly by a bit of toasty oak. In the mouth, eye opening bright red fruits, then the wave of acidity drowns everything else. After the wave passes, blackberry, slight plum, and lingering baking spices. You can feel a slight dusty tannin lurking around the gums.
Mauritson does such a great job getting just enough ripeness and maintaining structure. No flab, no jam, no prune, no raisin, no port like alcohol levels.
Paired with a pulled pork tenderloin, slow cooked in root beer for six hours (yes, that was it), topped with LT's Kansas City BBQ sauce. Side of buttery parmesan polenta, and mixed green salad.2 people found this helpful Comments (1)
