Papera Vineyard Zinfandel
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Light ruby in color with a wide reddish rim and medium intensity.
Fruity nose of strawberries, raspberries, sweet cherries, light wood, spices, earth, herbs, light vegetables and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with cherries, sweet strawberries, currants, oak, light vanilla, spices, dark chocolates, earth, light vegetables, tobacco leaf and peppercorn.
Medium finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a very tasty and elegant Zinfandel from Russian River Valley. Nicely balanced and tangy.
Needs a couple of hours to open up properly, and remove some of the acidity. Worth the wait.
This Single Vineyard Zinfandel from the great 2015 vintage is starting to drink nicely now. Still young, and needs 3 to 5 years of bottle time, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Good by itself, once it opens up. Showing nice complexity with a soft mouthfeel. Elegant and rich.
I paired it with dried meats and olives.
Aged in French oak barrels for 14 months (23% new).
14.8% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$75.

Not much insight - super juicy wine, a classic Cali Zin with a balance of boozy sweetness, fruit, and soft tannins - each in full voice. Easy drinking for those who are into this style although not for me.
