Truncated party notes. Like a Second Growth Bordeaux made from Zinfandel. Nose showing more secondary and tertiary notes than fruit. Full and elegant. Great with grilled porterhouses.

Jun 21st, 2021I am very excited to drink this. From old vine Zin grapes grown on my favorite site (Beatty Ranch in Howell Mountain). And on cue it delivers that classic Beatty Ranch earthy black peppercorn spice on the nose, hovering over dark, very spicy blackberry and crushed rock. Absolutely attacks the palate with savory flavors. But no jamminess in the least. Very full but the 14.5 is well hidden. Such a long finish. Love this.
