@Delectable Wine - This is Storybook’s relatively new “Bottled Poetry” Napa Estate Zinfandel. It’s delicious. Nose is identifiably Zin, with ripe blackberry/black raspberry fruit, supplemented by crushed gravel, a shill of sweet vanilla, and spice. Intense fruit is first on the palate, though the wine is not heavy or jammy at all. Turns leaner and more structured as the palate goes on. Great purity. The fruit profile is different than an elegant Brunello, but in other respects that’s the vibe it gives off. Great Zin.

Sleek and graceful with plenty of dried sage aromatics, this aged beauty offers elegance in a rare way. I'm sincerely impressed considering variety and age here.
