Community Tasting Note

  January 30, 2015 - ZAP Flights! 2015 presented with support from The Historic Vineyard Society (Four Seasons Hotel, San Francisco): Poured at the Zap Flights presentation by the Historic Vineyard Society including discussion with winemaker Nathan Kandler.
  
  Color is a medium-light ruby. Lovely nose is high-toned with cranberry and floral notes. Palate is elegant with strong acidity, but plenty of cherry/cranberry, with iron and dark chocolate in the mid-palate. Slight hint of oak on the finish but it's pretty well integrated. 14.8% ABV. According to Nathan Kandler the wine was raised in 100% old French Oak barrels previously used for Chardonnay.
  
  This may be a Pinot maker's Zin, but it's got tons of energy and is very light on its feet, great representation of Contra Costa, and wine of the flight by a mile.
