2019 "Vineyard Z" Russian River Valley Zinfandel

Remarkable for a 2019 Zinfandel, this wine pours deep, dark and brooding with hints of chocolate, blackberry syrup, raspberry and wood resin eeking out of the void. With time, the fruit becomes more pronounced with the cherry, blackberry and cinnamon spice coming to the fore. Dense and tightly wound on entry with red and black fruits arrayed over a powerful layer of minerally tannins that lead to a long, if tightly wound, finish that echoes for some time. Clearly lots more to come here once this cracks open in the bottle.
