Pagani Ranch Sonoma Valley Zinfandel Blend 2021
Yeah @Doug Powers I might be able to in the Chicago suburbs. What's with all the American wine Anthony? 😅
@Dave @Doug Powers 🤣 I accidentally bought the Napanook which I really enjoyed. So I told myself to buy less Italian and go experimental on USA. Didn’t let me down up untill now 🤩

Earthquake Lodi Zinfandel 2022
I would absolutely buy this one again! Especially at the $20-$25 price point.
Delicious blueberry and rhubarb pie on the nose. Silky tannins with low acidity, and a long vanilla finish with mild oak. Well balanced and very enjoyable. — 14 days ago

Juvenile California Zinfandel 2023
You're my kind of man! @Doug Powers
Yes, solid! @Neil Valenzuela
@Dave I think Zin and many other wines (looking at you too Southern Rhone reds) lose some balance, complexity, and food-flexibility at that level and beyond, frequently in the pursuit of higher scores from quick-sipping critics who need to be “wowed” in 15 seconds or less.

"Odedi"
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Sweet nose of black fruits, cedar, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco and black pepper.
Full bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, light cedar, licorice, chocolates, coffee, light earth and peppercorn.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.
This 9 year old Zinfandel from Napa Valley is drinking beautifully now. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel, complex and entertaining.
Drinking at its peak, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years. Tangy and spicy, rich and inviting.
I had this vintage 7 years ago, and it is drinking much better now.
