Very bretty and not very Zin like, but if you told me this was CDP from a traditional producer I’d believe you.

Another poised, supple, fully mature Nalle Zinfandel. Earthy, slightly funky nose opens to notes of brambly fruit, earth, and spice. Tannins have resolved, leaving this sleek and sweet on the palate with just enough acidity to keep it lively.
Nice drinking aged Zin. Beyond its peak, but far from senile.
