Edizione Pennino Rutherford Zinfandel
Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, USA
Clean, cherry red color. Liquorice, aged fruit, raspberry, strawberry, hints of pepper on a very interesting nose. Long persistence, not an average zinfandel, probably not ready since it is not rounded on mouth.

This is the 2003. Holding up very nicely. Mellowing tannins but lots of structure. Some spice and vanilla.

HWT - interesting zin that’s fruit forward but yet not fruity. Eric REALLY liked it and Heather enjoyed it. $47

Aug 15th, 2021Menthol, licorice, vanilla, cloves, hoisin sauce, herbs, spices, and packed with jammy cherries. A bit over oaked - I’m not normally a Zin fan, but this retains an Italian like freshness to it despite the aggressive oak. There’s a lot of complexity here as well.
