Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, November 21, 2023 - Sourced from multiple estate vineyards throughout Sonoma Valley, this 100% Zinfandel offering includes a substantial (>20%) aliquot of fruit from vines greater than a century old. Aged for 16 months in 35% French oak (25% new) and 65% used American oak, it is a deep ruby wine with an impressive aromatic array that includes dark bramble fruits, morello cherries, bittersweet chocolate, licorice black pepper and eucalyptus. Medium-bodied, freshly acidic, seamlessly alcoholic (14.7%) and with silky tannins, it delivers flavors in line with the aromas, adding notes of dill that can be attributed to the American oak. Dense in the middle and medium in length on the back end, this well-crafted Zin represents excellent value. Enclosed with a Diam 5 cork, this particular bottle was popped, poured and serially tasted over a three-hour period. Give it an hour or more of air if possible. Drink now-2028.
