Young but still so good. High toned red fruit, some blue fruits, medium plus acidity.

This is about as elegant and “French” style a Zin as one can get. Nose has rich but restrained blackberry, a Bordeaux like cedar note, cassis, maple or hickory syrup, and a crushed stone thing. Concentrated but tidily-structured. This has the understated structure and coiled nature to last quite a while.

Tasted blind.
Me: Possibly newer vintage Pinot Noir from Sonoma?

Guest: What part of Sonoma?

Me: Well...it is not Coast so the flavors/spice leads me to RRV

Guest: You have tastebuds like a goldfish.

Me: ☺️ yeah I know....

I've touted about this winery and their great, age worthy Zins before and this is no exception.
