Lot 480 is a 100% single-vineyard Zinfandel that from our source's online shop goes for $50/bottle, $600/case before shipping charges. Our source has a long history of organically crafting terroir-driven Zinfandels that are loved by locals and lauded by critics, with this specific release garnering 92 points from Wine Enthusiast under the original label.

Boysenberries, cinnamon, and strawberry jam on the nose are accented by crushed gravel, dried herbs, and peach preserves. The entry is focused and dry, showing a beautiful structure that’s more terroir-driven earth than big jammy fruit; new leather and further gravel are kissed by hibiscus overtones, all built around medium acidity and framed by velvet tannins. A dry finish of medium length continues to exude terroir and offers exceptional quaffability.
