East Bench Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 2015

With the roughly 4+ years of bottle age this was showing nicely albeit at its peak. Lovely black fruits danced with warm Spivey notes and the palate was full and balanced. Very happy I didn’t pull the cork on this wine early.

Paul Dolan Vineyards

Mendocino County Zinfandel 2009

Smoky black cherry and raspberry-chocolate ganache scents envelope the nose. There is a strong laquerwood note brimming with cedar and vanilla and a cheese-rind nuttiness. Opulent and silky mouthfeel gives way to rush of warm alcohol brushed in smoke and butter. A minty blackberry emerges. The tannins are a texture shy of silky, but very refined, and there is an exuberant interplay of chalky and briny stone awash in orange pekoe. All that and organic. #organicwine #PaulDolan #mendocinowine #CAzinfandel — 10 years ago
