Macauley
Old Vine Napa Valley Zinfandel
Napa Valley, California, USA
Both big/dense and surprisingly perfumed. It offers enough richness to satisfy folks who like rich Cali Cab but also an understated elegance on the palate with lingering floral notes.

My first time trying this producer’s Zin. I opened this yesterday knowing that it likely needed more time but was too impatient to wait. Decanted for 2 hours and it still gave off heat from alcohol, but started to develop with time in the glass. Day 2 and this wine has improved significantly. This wine is jammy, but not overly. I think this wine will really shine with a couple more years in the bottle. Will wait to open the next one.
