Mar 12th, 2022I think 5-7 years past vintage is the sweet spot for RRV zins....the fruit has softened just a bit, so it lets the rest of the elements shine through in a better balance...deep, dark brambly fruit with light smoke and luxardo cherry...tannins are subtle and velvety...delicious.

Dec 22nd, 2019Deep, dark nose of pencil lead, earthy fruit, and meatiness...mouthful of brambly cherry, menthol, and spice...tannic grip on the end gives the flavors weight...these hartford zins always pack a punch....
