  October 30, 2023 - It's a shame that 2018 might've been the last vintage of Beekeeper zins. This is fantastic, and it's hard to imagine a better expression of the varietal.
  
  It's heavy on the palate, but it's not "jammy" - meaning too heavy oak, or too much in the way of sweeter fruit tastes. It's more a textural sense. You'll probably need some serious food to go with it. Taste wise, it would be a good match for many salmon preparations. But the weight of the wine, and length of the finish, would be too much for a delicate dinner.
  
  That said, the fruit is dry and savory. Plenty of dark fruit here like blackberries. But it seamlessly works with your palate from first sip to finish.
