Pedroncelli wines are bottled young, but are inexpensive and age well. Tonight enjoying with smoky pork ribs, beans, turnip greens, cornbread, and fries. The wine is proving soft at the edges, but a hint of gorgeous acid, delicate jammy ness, and some a telicherry pepper finish. Feminine meets masculine. Yum

Blackberry, cassis, licorice, vanilla and mocha. Great structure & quite tannic.

Nose Is fruit forward, a bit of oak and signs of spice. Blackberry and current are immediate flavors but they actually retreat pretty quickly. Tannins are elevated and start from the beginning. I actually think it mutes the fruit flavors a bit. There is some spice on the finish. It's medium to mild and does linger, but I would have liked it to be more predominant. My expectations were a little high being a wine from Dry Creek and quality reviews are abundant. This is a quality wine, enjoyable for tannin lovers but is just too limited when it comes to spice, oak which are great Zin characteristics.
