Lot 466
2021 Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel
750mlDescription
$65/bottle under the original label
Lot 466 is a 100% single-vineyard old-vine Zinfandel from a Dry Creek winery's flagship program, which routinely scores 90-92 points from the top names and has a devoted, cultish following. Their winemaker selects the finest fruit from 50 to 70-year-old vines on the winery’s best vineyard plot, producing a gorgeously intense wine that comes at a hefty price.
Allow a nose of intricate spice, supple leather, and boysenberry to beckon you into a concentrated entry of spiced fruit and a distinct sense of terroir amidst perfectly balanced, fresh tannins. For all the power and concentration on display, the finish is strikingly dry, yet ripe with an herbaceous dark fruit umami that lingers as long as a summer evening. Lush and deeply concentrated now (with a healthy decant), this will blossom into something otherworldly with a bit of age.
