Starting to soften from a few months ago. Loose-boned, big-bones. Not one to age but to drink in the next year or two before the alcohol burns through the fruit.

Aug 25th, 2024This latest iteration of this wine features lots of different earthy notes on the nose: gravel, fresh yard mulch, decomposing tree branches. But it’s pleasant and there’s deep fruit too. On the palate, it’s dry and even a little on the austere side for a Zin, which typically features fruit. But you can sense some depth there waiting to make an appearance. A fair amount of tannin. Give this at least another year or two to come together and the score should be higher.
