Aug 13th, 2022The Hartford single vineyard selections have always been my favorite red zins, hands downs....I think this one has just the right amount of age on it to soften the edges, but still remain vibrant and rich as a red zinfandel should be...all of the great dark red fruits, spice, and hints of oak are there....so,so good...

Feb 25th, 2018Deep purple beauty with muddled black fruit, menthol, and graphite on the nose....a mouthful of stewed plum, white pepper, and oak shadings precede a decent tannic kick....

What I want in a Zin. Nice juiciness, bramble, oak, easy tannins, pepper, medium finish. Great with my burgers.
