Mazzocco
Pony Reserve Zinfandel
Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Love mazzocco wines. I find they hold up nicely & I’ve never been dissatisfied w/ any corkiness or inconsistencies. Have had a few Stone vineyard Zins & they are huge, red berry bombs but I never feel “heat” from 15.5% alc - unlike some big zins. If I ate red meat, I guess I’d recommend for a large NY Strip & grilled onions...but had to suffice w/ some tallagio cheese/crackers!

Cherry and dates on the nose. A touch of flint. Elegant finish with a surprisingly soft rose petal touch. First one opened from our most recent shipment. We actually stayed at the vineyard when Les was less mobile.
