Just snagged this interesting zin @ VA Bch's Hilltop Taste (a blast from my past, this place having spawned from the late/great Peter Coe's Taste Unlimited). While I have had plenty of Oakville Winery's cabs, this is my first taste of their zins (crazy impressive as a bargain under $25 retail!). I catch cherry with a hint of cedar (likely new oak) off its nose (small bowled stemware and zero wait time, on my part). After a couple of nose hits and twirls, once in one's mouth she goes blueberry-centric touched by vanilla and a NC packhouse of yesteryear [where barn-hung and properly cured tobacco leaves (evil weed she is) were artfully, interestingly tied to demonstrate quality] cast against the well-oiled and better used leather of a McGregor infielder's glove (from my fadingly distant past).
The structure of this Zin compete's with the utility of that glove (going there now for a manuscript of a different flavor, thoughts of Spring, the girl behind the backstop and my timeless romance with yet another season). Buy this wine and give Taste, and "peace, a chance." Here's to the greater good coupled with the moment, cause "it's the time of the season when love runs high..." (vintage Zombies, something about which to think and a little mid-day zin) ✌🏻️🍷👣⚾️🕶🌀 — 8 years ago
