School House Vineyard
Mezcolanza Zinfandel Blend
Spring Mountain District, Napa Valley, California, USA
Truncated family party notes. Absolutely delicious. Still got the ripe Zin fruit but savory and crushed stone notes abound. Everything in balance. Only 13.6%.

Brought to Tasting Group from my cellar and presented to the group double-blind. The wine presents a deep ruby color with moderate staining of the tears. Medium viscosity. On the nose, notes of strawberry, cherry candy, watermelon juice, menthol, green herbs oregano thyme, and cedar. On the palate, the wine is dry and structure is medium+ across the board. The finish is long, tart, mineral and woody but not in a new oak sort of way. Everyone was in the Old World with guesses ranging from Burgundy to Rioja. To be fair, not many in Napa makes Zinfandel like this anymore…if any at all. Lovely stuff.
