Across from the beach so that has an impact on the rating! Knowledgeable owner! 18 acres in NE Ohio! This zin has upfront raspberries with a sweet spike at then end long finish of dry mild black pepper. This is the Tarsitano winery from NE Ohio and the owner is terrific! — 8 years ago
Drank 3/29/2022 PVB beachfront...wonderful as always — 3 years ago
Just concluded our annual Fall seclusion at our cabin in the Rangeley lakes region of Maine, mobile service up there is mostly non-existent, after several days I am posting again. Notes are somewhat brief, as my focus is relaxing and watching the Common Loons swimming and diving in the cove in front of our camp.
60% Zinfandel, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc, for the 2005 vintage blend. This label features Redhead ducks, which we have commonly seen occupying our beachfront, not this year unfortunately.
Nose has vanilla bean, pipe tobacco, ripe cherry, ripe blackberry, prune (light) and over-ripe plum.
Palate has rich blackberry & cherry, oak plank, chalk (light), dried strawberry, ripe plum and raisin (light).
Beautifully long finish and tannins are long gone; this bottle is at the end of its life, also our last bottle of this vintage. Always interesting to see how long they will hold. The labels have always been a favorite of ours. — 5 years ago

4:30 pm on the deck during covid19 work from home. Tart sweet sour hint of lemon. A bigger taste of minerals than before. Creamy on the tongue. — 5 years ago
Soft plum and sour cherry notes in the middle. A quick finish. A perfect red wine in the shade at the beach ! This is the Tarsitano winery from NE Ohio and the owner is terrific! — 8 years ago

2013. Beating the heat by going to Gualala, CA beachfront. No temps over 75 on the coast. Also a Laetitia Brut de Blanc 2020 and Mumm DVX 2017 Rose. Loved them all! — 4 months ago
