  April 2, 2024 - Enjoyed. Smooth and soft. Lots of dark fruit. Long finish. No bite, but that is the wrong word. Drank as something else. Smooth.

  March 30, 2024 - Open for business. Rich but not overbearing. Brambly zin character on nose with a slight menthol note. Ripe raspberry dominates the palate. Long finish with smooth tannins that are well integrated. I think it’s time to drink up unless you prefer longer aged zins that more resemble claret.

  March 2, 2024 - There's a dish I make every once in a while of braised pork shoulder with hoisin sauce, garlic, chilies and dried cherries. With sauce slathered on the pork it's a really difficult food match, but the pork itself is perfect with Zinfandel. There's enough flavor infused into the pork, but it doesn't have the significant sweetness that the sauce adds to the dish. So to go along with the pork I opened this, and it was essentially a perfect match. The fresh acidity in the Zin played off the richness of the pork, and the brambly, red fruit notes were a fine accompaniment to the flavors of the food - even if a bit of sauce got involved! On its own the wine is fantastic, and similar to the Once & Future editions from this vineyard. It's more transparent than the Bedrock versions (at least young), and for that reason I prefer it.
