Tonight with homemade pizza using a YUGE heirloom tomato as part of the base, this good, not great, Dry Creek Valley Zin, some raspberry, but as this has aged, the alcohol is too dominant for me (14.9%) as the fruit has dropped, good Zin.

Sep 7th, 2025Old vine Dry Creek Zinfandel (which I LOVE), but the effusive raspberry that is always there is somewhat candied and doesn’t taste as fresh as it should, this is OK, but fading quickly from where it was a year or so ago!!

Color of dark purple mixed with brown tone. Nose of sweet, ripe raisin, some berries, some hickory BBQ sauce, a bit anise, and some cherry jam. Taste of bright acidity with sugary notes, peppery, and citrusy zest. Aftertaste is dominated by bittersweet zest, sparkled with peppery note, sweet residues, mellow, and short finish. A normal Zin for a mundane day.
