Reminds me of Limerick Lane zinfandel, which is probably the Russian River Valley terroir coming through. Definitely has some blue fruits, but also some red fruit in the mix and more balancing acidity than the Limerick Lane wines show. As such, I would expect this to age a little better than those do. That said, there’s no reason to hold these as they’re drinking very well right now. Finishes with a nice dash of spice. As an aside, a visit to Hartford is a treat, as they pour quite a few wines from across their Zinfandel and Pinot portfolio, allowing you to get a sense of how the different vineyard characteristics show.

Drank at restaurant. PNP. Non-specific fruit notes and some black pepper. But it is very well balanced. Good choice for dinner when people are having disparate dishes.

Red fruits. Rich and smooth with a bit of sweetness.
