I absolutely love this vineyard but I am not too sure this wine is my favorite. The wife loved this wine as I expected, this is a bit too high octane for me, although it is high alcohol it is not sweet. It is definitely balanced. I can appreciate it for what it is. I still believe Bedrock makes the best monte rosso zin!

Sweet-ish jammy nose, good spice only on the finish. Notes of leather. Ok.
