Pretty amazing to taste a 2013 #zinfandel in 2019 and find it still alive and kicking and #wellbalanced There’s something to be said here about wines. With a sense of place and defending “native” varietals.

Probably the most well rounded Zinfandel I have come across. Not jammy. This wine is smooth and delectable. Perfect amount of age on it. Pairs well with an aged cheese. Picked up from the winery today

Blackberry and clove on the nose. Very long and thin legs. Syrupy body. Cocoa and grapefruit bitters upfront. Hints of floral tobacco on the mid palate. Spicy pepper finish.

Perfect fall day on the lake with some Zin from Pritchard Hill. Plum, current, spice, a little cinnamon even. Everything you'd expect from a Chappellet daily drinker.
