2015 Day Zinfandel

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Saturday, April 15, 2017 - Winebar [2 Whites & 7 Reds] from 04/14/17: 1,500 cs made

N: RIPE, QUITE jammy (berries at least currently atop smoke)

P: MF, poss Med, body; Almost definite R.S. braced by acidity, which BECOMES puckery, this SLOWLY resolving into a LONG, tangy, VERY slightly, finely tannic finish. Very nicely done in its style, for most this NEEDS into mid (if not all the way through) '18, then drinking for the ff yr or 2. (With the suspected R.S., I *don't* see this making "old bones".) 92 pts WS, 89 Vinous, & 88 RJonWine. [Tasted @ $22.95, though, if anything, this vendor is now likely selling the '16. However, July 2018's wine-searcher DOES show ~10 sources ranging from $24-$35.]
