Truncated dinner party notes. This ‘18 is uncommonly open and friendly for a Storybook Zin, which typically take years to unfurl. Really nice ripe flavors and perfect balance.

2018 vintage. Old-school zin. Lip-smacking with both fruit and structure in balance. Will easily provide and care for a decade+. Dense medium-heavy body with massive dark/black fruit components. Dunno why Zin ever strayed and became unfaithful to this style. Those cheaters have nothing but regrets.

Opened up a few ho-hum bottles and really wanted something that popped and would complement my smoked ribs: this did the trick, see previous note. So dense so generous so polished - just textbook Zin
