Lot 361
2019 Russian River Valley Zinfandel

Medium- to deep-garnet in the glass with a hint of magenta showing freshness. The bouquet features spicy florals wrapped around wild strawberry and blackberry fruit underpinned with chocolate, bourbon vanilla, and toasty black pepper. Plush, juicy and smooth on entry with an open-knit structure piled high with rich boldness delivering blackberry jam, chocolate-covered cherry, black pepper and toasted vanilla laid over fantastic red dust-coated, minerally tannins providing depth and pitch-perfect balance. Pure, seamless, and well-integrated throughout, there is clearly a deft-hand at the wheel here.
