Community Tasting Note

River Rat Likes this wine:

Saturday, January 20, 2024 - Bottle was given to me by the winemaker for the purpose of tasting and giving my impressions in a tasting note. Partial whole cluster ferment, aged in 20% new French oak. 13.5% abv.
Pours a brilliant magenta and exhibits a beautiful nose of bramble fruit, dried persimmon and spice. The fun continues with a delicate palate of lively sweet zinberry and a red volcanic soil note reminiscent of the renowned Monte Rosso vineyard. What really makes this Zin special is how the fruit is complimented by a well balanced support of acid and tannin structure. A very complete wine, it comes at you from all angles with a warm spice adding depth and complexity while the firm tannins speak to its age-worthiness. I’m a Zin head and I appreciate the nostalgic charm of this old school version that’s sure to impress for years to come.
