Wine Review: This slightly opaque and dark ruby colored Zinfandel from Titus opens with a smoke house and red licorice bouquet with hints of raspberry and leather jacket. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with integrated medium acidity. The mouthfeel is very well-balanced, super smooth and graceful for a Zin. The flavor profile is a stone dust and mild boysenberry blend with notes of oak and cinnamon. We also detected hints of clay, green tea, and bay leaf. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and refined dusty tannins drift away nicely. We would pair this impressive Zin with a filet mignon. Enjoy - KWGTP
Winemaker Notes: The 2023 Napa Valley Zinfandel exhibits the broader, darker side of Zinfandel with wild berry, blackberry horehound, bay and Asian Five Spice notes out of the glass. The wine fills the palate with constrained intensity, balanced acidity and glossy tannins that maintain a bright freshness throughout. Rich blackberry notes give way to root beer and molasses through to the finish. Enjoy now through 2034.
