Needed a big friendly Zin to help obliterate an unusually stressful week at work. This Zin is so flavorful yet contained. Fruit, spice, intense minerality, concentration, length, balance. Hard to name a patch of earth that creates better Zin than Monte Rosso. Superb.

More sweet red fruit emerging over the past year or so. Still some sharp acid, but smoothed by some finer grained tannin now...cherry, raspberry, licorice and pepper. Medium to full bodied...still time with this one.

Oct 24th, 2018Thinking give this a couple years. I get some tart red cherries, but backed by some blackberries & brambly fruit...little bit of cedar box, that may smooth out over time.
