Introduction

The weather has been unseasonably cool in West County so we pulled out some young'n Zinfandels to pair with our bbq.

Flight 1 (4 Notes)

  • 2009 Bedrock Wine Co. Heirloom Wine Dolinsek Ranch

    USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley

    This bottle has settled down in the past 6 months. Ripe red and black fruit, nice acidity and the tannins are staring to calm down a bit. Showing a little more polish than in January.

  • 2009 Bedrock Wine Co. Zinfandel Stellwagen Vineyard

    USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Valley

    Great nose on this one of dark fruit and spice. Bigger texture than the Dolinsek and a bit more stuffing. Not nearly as tannic. really drinking well right now.

  • 2008 Carlisle Zinfandel Papera Ranch

    USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley

    Extremely aromatic when decanted. Rich boysenberry and blackberry notes. A touch hot at first but settled down with some air. Very elegant for a big wine. Savored every sip. The least spicy of the flight. Brought something different to the table.

  • 2008 Turley Zinfandel Old Vines

    USA, California

    Classic Turley spice on the nose and palate. Deep dark red and black fruit. Medium bodied, balanced acidity, oak, pepper... For $25 this was a good buy but my last one.
