Short version: one of the best Zins I've ever had. Longer impressions: Ripe and fragrant, with great minerality. Perfect balance, ripe and full but with nice balancing acidity. No jamminess. No heat in the finish. Absolutely stunning texture. Plush but firm. A+.
An idiosyncratic journal of wines I buy from a mix of Internet sources and retailers in the Northern Virginia/D.C. area. Mostly inexpensive and moderately-priced stuff, reflecting my frugal New England roots. Cent anni!
