This wine is a breath of fresh air, bursting with punchy red fruits. There's a subtle mix of baking spices that blends perfectly with the fruity aroma. While it's delicate on the palate, it surprises with a nice depth, showcasing a mix of sweet fruits and hints of cacao.
It's aging beautifully and I'm loving where it's at right now. I'd happily keep sipping on this vintage. No rush to finish it off though, it's already in a fantastic place and probably won't get much better than this.

Beautifully aged zinfandel. Bought directly from the Paso winery after tasting it last year. Opened for friends after a blind zinfandel tasting. Everyone enjoyed - still had a bit of fruit. Bricking, more burnt orange in color. Little bit of sediment but to be expected. If you have them, it's in a really nice place to drink right now.

Very nice. Still showing lots of fruit and acid, soft tannins, and a spicy finish. Brandied cherries are the dominant flavor.

Still holding up incredibly well. Picked this old library vintage up directly at the winery in Paso Robles in 2019, so it was in pristine condition.

Up the PCH; 6/4/2019-6/16/2019 (Santa Barbara, Santa Ynez, Paso Robles, Napa, and Willamette): Really a pleasure to taste, still had some lift to it. I wouldn't hold much longer, but I picked up a bottle and will plan on drinking over the next year. Just a really nice bottle to see how these zins can last over the year!
