Not jammy. Structure and fruit that hung a long time. A slow ripener

Found this gem in the “discontinued” wines at the local grocery store. I’m familiar with this wine because I’m a club member! This wine is amazing. I mean amazing. So smooth and perfect blending. Wow.

Very fruity and a bit tart. The label of a monkey riding a fish takes it over the top.

It's been a good week for me and the Louvau Vineyard. Whereas the '06 was earthy and savory, this vintage is fruit, fruit, and fruit 🍓🍊🍒

Not everyday I get to drink a 10-year-old bottle of Zinfandel. Incredibly fresh and could have even stayed in bottle a few years longer. Earth and savory spices making sweet love on my tongue. Never let anyone tell you Zin can't be elegant, subtle, earth-driven and deeelish.

Lots of cherry and a little pepper. Not very complex.
