Likes this wine:

Sunday, June 25, 2023 - Dark fruited nose, of plum, blackberry and a kind of generic grape, has a round mouthfeel, this reminds me a bit of a petite sirah but without the tannins, back of the bottle says that it's from vines planted in the 1880s, so I'm guessing it's a field blend. Don't get as much bramble and red fruited notes as I would expect from a zinfandel. Occasionally get some green notes, not herbal though, maybe eucalyptus? Reminds me a bit of right bank bordeaux without the tannins. Was very enjoyable and easy to drink, low acidity, not very tannic with a medium length finish. Don't notice any oak influence. Nice!

    Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouschet, and Grand Noir are the most populous, but our blocks also contain Mataro, Carignan, Semillon, Muscadelle, Aramon, Burger, and Mission.
