Mayacamas Range Napa Estate Zinfandel 2019

The 2019 edition of this wine seems looser, lower in acid, and more on the savory side than usual. Scorched earth and very pure, spicy Zin blackberry fruit on the nose. Round and and soft in the mouth. Up-front Zin fruit quickly gives way to more savory elements. A slight bitterish note, not unpleasant, as the finish progresses. Unlike other Storybook Zins, I’d drink this one sooner rather than later. — 12 days ago

Range Grenache Syrah 2019

Smooth at the start with dates, cocoa, anise and a splash of red apple. Soft tannins fold into a light acidity with the final notes of vanilla, fig and leather. — 3 months ago

Rattlesnake Rock Syrah 2018

Wow! Even better than a few months ago. Olives, blueberries, game, forest, pepper, plums. It’s interesting having this a few days after storm Syrah. Very similar. Love that there are more of these us syrahs with good fruit but balance. Central coast style. — a month ago
