Bottle 2/3 two years later. Initially lighter nose with a tight, tart finish, gives way with 15 minutes, to richer Zinberry tones, structure still tight but becoming supple. Flavors becoming expansive for the style. Should be singing in 1-2 years. 89-90+

Nalle's Zinfandel is made with old school European sensibility. Lower Brix & pH, higher TA at harvest. Resulting wines are fresh & highly structured. Often more accessible on day 2. Doug's son Andrew is starting to coax just a little bit more ripeness into the "house style". This could marry the best of the past with the future. It’s truly a Zin that can enhance a meal. Needs a couple years to open up. 88-90+
