Esola Vineyard Zinfandel

The purity of classic 1970s Zinfandel red berry fruit — before most producers decided monster jammy wines was the way they were going to go with the grape—is remarkable. There’s also a bit of forest floor and clean crushed stone. Richly flavored but not jammy or overripe or overextracted. Great balance, with decent acids and a wisp of tannin. Really nice.

Zin and ribs last night and this wine paired perfectly - intense powerful with some extraction evident but when paired with finger sucking Rufus Teague sauce ribs - bam and fireworks - yummy and smiles all around - this wine could last a few years but why for it is so ready NOW

Purple red, moderately extracted pigment. Floral, red fruit and prune notes in nose. Cherry, blackberry flavors, warm, rich.

Bramble bomb

Fantastic—a fresh and lively take on Zinfandel

Dense purple red in color. Eucalyptus, raspberry and prune notes in nose. Same flavors in mouth, alcoholic but not hot. Moderate skin tannins in mouth.

Quite good. Nice balance of acid and fruit.

Floral, red and black fruits, bramble, velvety tannin, balanced 👌

Floral bright and energized. Incredibly pure without any weight. Singular expression of the grape and place. Special.

Beautiful, lighter weight for a zin, red fruited, orange rind, spice 😋
