Community Tasting Note

  January 25, 2016 - A vertical of Joseph Swan Zins (Scott & Jo's): Seemed to be most people's, not all, WOTN. Pale ruby in color with some browning all the way thru. Just a terrific nose. Very Bordeauxesq. That is to say, dusty with cigar box but also some nice red fruits. Complex and pretty deep. On the palate, there is good red fruits. Hard to say, maybe cherries. Also some layers of warm dry earthiness. Great acidity and balance. Went great with a pasta dish. Very nice finish. Mature of course but while mature, it did not taste over the hill. Led to the invariable discussion about is this what one buy's a Zin for. I get that but at the same time, if you buy a bunch and let one or two age, why not. This was delicious.
