WTN: Block and Tackle

[David M. Bueker]

2014 Limerick Lane Zinfandel Block 1910 - USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley (5/9/2021)
I really like where this wine is right now. It still has plenty of cherry fruit, and also a lovely mix of savory elements that add complexity. Tobacco, earth, and warm herbs are all in the mix, and the depth of flavor completely masks the 15.1% alcohol. How does Zin do that so often? Yum.

Sounds good, and a great brand. Zins are rare up here (it's either Gallo or Ridge/Turley and not much in between) so I rarely have them; you remind me of what we're missing.

I was very impressed with where this one ended up, especially given the ABV on the label.
