Clones Pinot Noir 2012

Hint of coffee and dark chocolate. Nice smooth mouthfeel without hint of heat. I opened it and poured gently into the glass and let it breathe for about 10 minutes. — 10 years ago

It's the opening day of baseball season, which is absolutely reason to celebrate with delicious wine! Go Rangers!

So this is my first experience with 750 wines. People rave about this place, the people, and the experience they provide. I'll make sure and visit my next time out. Love that they have their own label and utilize top winemakers and top vineyards. A KVenge zin? Yes please! My wife and I are big zin people (more so my wife), and once this was popped and poured, before the first sip, my wife smiled after she gave it a good whiff. On the nose, this is mixed blackberry and blueberry pie with vanilla bean ice cream, and a rush of blueberry preserves. Great acidity on the palate. Full throttle, jammy, slight peppery finish. This is jammy and peppery zin at its finest...a nice balance that I feel many struggle with. Our style of zin 👌.
@Carl Fischer , thanks for the introduction! Consider both my wife and I impressed. Nailed it!

Partial to the Morisoli Vineyard from Elyse if you are doing Zins.

@Norman Gennaro : I haven't had anything from Morisoli so I'll add that to my list as well. Elyse is evidently killing the zin game!
