Block 1910 Estate Grown Zinfandel

A little Zin and smoked pork tenderloin, what could be bad! Right off the glass I get this big jammy grape nose as in Welches grape jam. Succulent and sweet. Front of the palate reveals molasses and smoke. Dry tannins as in completely dry. Asian spice, touch of bay leaf and cinnamon. Finish is taunt and strong which brings the wine to the finish. Well done.

Bought this while visiting Sonoma for PWE

Muted in some ways, port-like in others. Still fairly tannic.

Still young with a clear tannic presence but ripe dark fruits make it accessible. Appealing cocoa notes.

Galloni nailed the review, and oh does this need more time to unwind. I’ll revisit in a few years.

Full jammy and a bit of musty basement smell. Love this Zin. Cold Brrrrrr in NJ today.
