Nalle 2020 Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley
6932739326034
$ 44.95
Andrew Nalle makes on of Calfornia's classic and classiest Zinfandels. Don't miss.
With only 13.8% alcohol and modest use of French oak aging, The Nalle 2020 Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel is bright and fruit forward in style, but with Dry Creek’s classic zinberry aromatics of cherry and strawberry. Smooth tannins and good midpalate weight, are a result of fresh berries and not raisins. 90% Zin, 7% Petite Sirah, 3% Carignane
The Nalle 2020 Dry Creek Classic Zinfandel was raised in 25% new oak and comes in at a very civilized 13.8% octane in this vintage. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a youthful blend of brambles, black raspberry, roasted game, dark chocolate, a fine base of soil tones, bonfire, youthful fresh herb tones and blossoming spices in the upper register. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, focused and nascently complex, with a rock solid core of fruit, ripe, tangy acids, buried tannins and fine balance and grip on the long and very promising finish. Like all of the Nalle Zinfandels, the 2020 is built for the cellar and will need some bottle age before it blossoms properly and starts to drink with generosity. However, once it is really ready to drink, it will be delicious.

Klinker Brick 2019 Old Vines Zinfandel, Lodi
$ 19.00
One of the best value boutique Zinfandels in California from Klinker Brick! An intense, fruit-filled wine you expect to cost at least twice as much. If you have yet to try a Zin from Lodi, this is the one!
The Klinker Brick Old Vines Zinfandel is produced from an amalgam of 14 different vineyard blocks, ranging in age from 35 to 110 years old. This vintage saw lower yields, producing a wine that is both complex and bold. Showing typical Klinker Brick cherry/berry/plum fruit components with aromatic spices on the nose, this wine is incredibly well balanced with a silky smooth texture and a long lingering finish. One of their best!

Always one of the favorite California Zins we carry.
93 Points Wine Spectator: "Plump and luscious, this is jam-packed with fruit. Lively blackberry, pepper and other spice box aromas lead to ripe and rich flavors of black raspberry, caramel and licorice. There are more complex Zinfandels, but few that are more enjoyable to drink. Drink now through 2025."
Wine Enthusiast: "You could use this as a teaching tool for classic Sonoma County Zinfandel. It's full-bodied, dry and spicy, with briary flavors of wild berries, mocha, tobacco, leather and exotic spices. More importantly, it's absolutely delicious. The grapes come from Seghesio's best vineyards in the Alexander and Dry Creek valleys. An astonishing value."
