Lot 363
2019 "Vineyard Y" Alexander Valley Zinfandel

Lots of bass notes up front with brown sugar and chocolate covered blueberries but it quickly opens to complex with pretty wild strawberry and raspberry, caramel/vanilla, and tobacco notes haloed by spicy cinnamon/red hots. Rich yet racy on entry with chalky, mineral-laced tannins carrying juicy, succulent blackberry syrup and ripe cherry notes to a long, sustained finish. Perfectly ripe and expressive with excellent purity and energy throughout, this another classy display of place-driven winemaking.

Christmas wow

"Christmas Wow I love California Zins, had this one in the cellar for over 2 years, one remains. Home after Midnight Mass, craving a red. Found this beauty, opened and had this wow feel. Great Zin with peppery spice, dark fruit, bit of cedar and so smooth. Worth the wait. I’m going to let the last one age another 6 months. Cheers! 🍷🍷🍷"

Zin Fan

"I love zinfandels and found this wine to be very enjoyable. It was part of 3 different zins from the same producer."

Spicy and succulent Zinfandel

"What a great bottle! In fact, I bought 12 and it is an impressive wine. I’ve paired it with a chicken spinach lasagna, blackened grilled salmon, and a thick fillet mignon. It is an excellent choice for those who enjoy a spicy mouthful or fruit!"
