WTN: Once&Future Zin NapaVlly '22....(short/boring)

by TomHill » Thu Apr 04, 2024 11:15 am

Tried this new arrival last night for DinDin:
1. Once&Future Zin NapaVlly (15.0%; 30% new Fr.oak; small open top redwood fermentors; 250 cs; pH: 3.68, TA: 0.61%) 2022: Dark color; very strong raspberry/blackberry/Zin/fairly spicy modest toasty/oak slight dusty/OV rather attractive nose; lightly tart bit rich light toasty/oak attractive fairly spicy/Zin/raspberry/blackberr very attractive/spicy flavor w/ light brisk tannins; long rich/blackberry/Zin/spicy finish that mirrors flavor; quite an attractive spicy/brisk Zin at a great price. $25.00/$32.40

More ginnerstip from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. This is Joel's basic Zin blend from several old Napa Zin vnyds. Not a profound Zin nor all that distinctive but quite pleasant at a great price. Blows away the Ridge EastBench or 3Vllys at that price point.
