Mancini Ranch Zinfandel
A tad sour for my taste...over the hill already? ⛰ Update: Improved immensely after breathing in glass and accessing with #coravin a few days later.

Sep 29th, 2015Bright red fruit with a deliciously sweet lift at the end. A touch of white pepper and licorice. A remarkably balanced and finessed Zinfandel! 2009 vintage.

Jul 11th, 2015Top-notch, old-fashioned Zinfandel: bright red fruits, a delicate floral nose, with great depth and length.

Jul 10th, 2015A very good Zinfandel, from vines planted in 1924 in RRV, contains over 20 varieties. Stoked for next year.

Dec 22nd, 2014Strawberry compote, raspberry liqueur, wood chips, forrest floor, potpourri. Balanced sharp acid/rough velvet tannin grip, lush juicy texture, full bodied, fruity/peppery finish. Has the backbone to carry its heavy body. Deceptively big, not a fruit bomb.

Jun 4th, 2016Burnt cherry color with a dark candied cherry aroma and a bit of smoke. Just delicious. First time to Vine Wine Room - really great.

May 5th, 2016Drinks with exceptionally light body for a Zinfandel, and yet it's a huge wine at 15% alcohol and with all the intense, fruity flavor you want from a Zin, but bright and electric. Neat.
