I used to buy Three’s CCC bottlings of Zin and Rhône varietals a lot around 10 years ago but stopped because I started getting tired of the 15+ alc levels. Other wineries source the wonderful sandy old vineyards there too but pick a tad earlier. (Although some like Sandlands pick a little earlier than I’d prefer.) it’s not that I didn’t like the Three versions but that I like the others better.

@Tom Casagrande, I totally hear you on the ABV, this one hid it well, but as it’s a 2019 and showed a fair amount of maturity, I intend to drink my other bottles before the fruit drops too much more!

Three Valleys Sonoma County Zinfandel Blend 2019

"Odedi"

9.1

Ruby in color with a wide reddish/brick rim.

Fruit forward on the nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing sweet cherries, raspberries, blueberries, black currants, plums, chocolates, light oak, earth, cola, herbs, spices, light vanilla, licorice, peppercorn and tobacco leaf.

Nice tangy finish with soft tannins.

This 6-year-old Zinfandel blend from Sonoma County is drinking at its peak. Spicy and fruit forward. Elegant and juicy.

Great right out of the bottle, but even better after a few hours of air, when the complexity really comes to life.

The alcohol is very nicely integrated by now. Easy drinking and nicely balanced. A great sipping wine.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

I picked up a couple ‘88s recently as I’m always looking for birth year wines and opted to open this one first. Rough label, but provenance was great.

Consumed from bottle over the course of two hours. After 10-20mins of blowing off so 30+yr funk, this became a total surprise! Faded ruby with bricking but that’s the only sign that this had age. Aromatics sported sweet cherry tobacco, older floral/potpurri, and a mix of red and black berry fruits. Juicy and vibrant on the palate! Shocked. Core of red and black fruits carry the profile with fig, herbs and a little bit of leather. Good spine of acidity here. Not much tannin at the finish, but it’s classically old Napa merlot. Drink up and enjoy! — a month ago
