Westberg Red 4Hearts Vineyard Zinfandel Tempranilllo 2017
So warm and inviting. It’s big and high alcohol but somehow not excessive at all. Wonderful texture. Warm spicy aromas, dark plum, cherry and cola. Very nice ! — a year ago
Feel like I might have to turn here with Saxum price increases…
@Shay A it’s so funny that people often think they’re two in the same but honestly the turtle rock wines are way more lifted and elegant compared for saxum which is so velvety and full throttled. I like the richness and excessiveness of saxum and sometimes I prefer the more nuanced and bright turtle rock
@Alex Lallos : I don’t disagree. I enjoy both. But, I’d be lying if I said I enjoyed Saxum just as much now at $135/bottle versus when they were $95/bottle last year.

Super fun to drink this with some age on it. Went perfect with the turtle soup. Slight oxidation but the fruit is still alive and kickin. — 3 years ago
