Really good fruit bust with a dry lingering finish.

2013. The rating is only possible due to allowing this wine to truly open. Stellar.

This is my second wine in our tasting tonight. Mauritson Zinfandel 2013. As a typical Zin delivers, there is a spicy pepper beginning followed by a short dry finish. There are hints of raspberry and green apple. However, it is sweeter than the Winderlea pinot which makes no sense to me. Nevertheless, I love this Zin. Not as good as my new favorite Zin: Artezin. I discovered this today. Look for my review coming up after these three . This is a great Zin. I highly recommend it! Look for my other two reds in tonight's tasting: Winderlea pinot and Charles Krug cab!

Another great Zin from Mauriston. Let it decant at least an hour and that helped open up the berry flavor in mid palate. Went beautifully with blackberry BBQ ribs.

Another good Zin. Decent pepper on the mid palate to finish. Very fruit forward on the nose and one I would recommend
