Unique, yet still varietally real. Intensely fruited, blue and red fruits. Aromatic in sweet smoke. Candied raspberry, blueberry, and wild boysenberry, hibiscus, yet with a significant background of mouthwatering baked grapefruit acidity, white pepper, Chinese five spice and mustard. How do they get the radical balance? Seems to be house style, intense and balanced. Radio-coteau, ❤️❤️

Stellar Zin. This 2014 is in the sweet spot, and this oozes with dusty black and blue fruit with subtle aromas of smoke, underbrush, and violets. High acid, old school Zin.

A very well made and balanced wine. Lots of dark fruit . No zin spiciness. If this had been a blind tasting , I’d have guessed it was a burgundy.

Red fruit, earth, and salinity. Definitely a restrained style, lovely biggish jam nose notwithstanding.

Classic Zinfandel, beautiful strawberry and earth flavored. Elegant and fresh.

Well done Zin. Like all of Radio-Coteau, this wine is very expressive. Big red and blue fruits, energetic on the palate. Silky mid palate of cassis and bright red berries. Longer finish with just the right balance of acidity and tannins.

Fantastic Zin. High acidity. Old style, not overly jammy. Enjoyed with my parents and Indian food.
