Clean, cherry red color. Liquorice, aged fruit, raspberry, strawberry, hints of pepper on a very interesting nose. Long persistence, not an average zinfandel, probably not ready since it is not rounded on mouth.

Monthly wine group meet up. This month's theme was non-typical reds from Napa. Wines were tasted blind. Always a great time. 👌
This was my contribution for the evening. I found out last year that Inglenook made a zin and really enjoyed it. Nose was filled with vanilla and raspberries. Oak wasn't huge, and there was a great medley of fruit going on in here with blueberries being dominant. Balanced. One of two wines that nobody guessed the varietal correctly.

This vintage continues the evolution to a fresher, more elegant style, but retaining the polish of new oak and evenly ripe fruit. Not as edgy or expressive as some new wave Zins, but always a class act.

Another Scott McLeod masterpiece. Tasted blind, could have fooled me for a merlot. Jammy and plummy with pepper and spice and everything nice after some decanting. Smooth tannins and a hint of vanilla and cocoa. This has years to go.

A Rutherford Zinfandel that eschews the high alcohol and high sugar style predominant in California, this wine is balanced with medium body and smooth blueberry tones. In a blind taste test I would have guessed a Merlot/Sangiovese blend.
