Three Valleys Sonoma County Zinfandel Blend 2020
Too early, these are 8-12 year wines to appreciate
Agree @Paul T- Huntington Beach but I didn’t get to choose for the tasting. In any case, it does seem drinkable now, but certainly has miles to go!
Belle Glos
Meiomi Pinot Noir 2011
Not the traditional Pinot Noir. Well balanced wine with fullness of dark berries, fruity strawberries and a very soft palate. Everyday Pinot Noir! — 18 days ago

Chateau Montelena
The Montelena Estate Calistoga Cabernet Sauvignon 2000
Beautiful Cab Sauv from a stellar year in Napa! Can’t beat Montelena for structure, balance and a long shelf life. The only comparable wine (I’ve tasted) from this vintage is Shafer Hillside Select. This wine was fruit forward, mid pallet of aged leather, tobacco, nice tan is and a finish that lasted until the next sip!! Drink now, but would still be a very nice wine 10+ years from now!! — 10 days ago

Round five of blind tasting and we all missed on this. I think a Zinfandel blend is cruel. I swore this was a Sonoma Cab… all those blended varieties proved tricky and the Zinfandel doesn’t stand out on its own. Dark ruby red with dark over ripened and jammy fruits. Smells hot. Also VANILLA. Say that five times. Has some nice bell pepper and green notes, some eucalyptus, balsamic, and a touch of mint. Low tannic levels, moderate acid and body. It’s delicious but tripped us up. — 10 days ago
