Paul Dolan Vineyards
Mendocino County Zinfandel
Smoky black cherry and raspberry-chocolate ganache scents envelope the nose. There is a strong laquerwood note brimming with cedar and vanilla and a cheese-rind nuttiness. Opulent and silky mouthfeel gives way to rush of warm alcohol brushed in smoke and butter. A minty blackberry emerges. The tannins are a texture shy of silky, but very refined, and there is an exuberant interplay of chalky and briny stone awash in orange pekoe. All that and organic. #organicwine #PaulDolan #mendocinowine #CAzinfandel

Mar 6th, 2024Producer claim’s certified organic. Dark ruby color. Deep and concentrated red and dark fruit aromas and flavors with hints of baking spices and oak. Touch of vanilla on the long finish. Wine is quite rich but pretty well balanced. Medium tannins and pretty full bodied. Easy drinker.

Mar 13th, 2023Blackberries, some black pepper, mild tannins. Not as bold and full as I normally like my Zinfandel

Aug 12th, 2020Dark cherry yelled my husband from across the table when I said “Tell me the notes”... I am laying off the wine for a bit as doctor’s tell me I have a condition called pregnancy 😁

Jun 7th, 2020Fruit forward with flavors of blackberry and orange marmalade. A bit of pepper in the finish. Good, but not great. Lacks the oomph that I like in a Zin.
