Knotty Vines Zinfandel 2015

Description

Ten percent of this wine came from six acres of zinfandel planted in 1904 at the River West Vineyard in Healdsburg; another 14 percent came from the vineyard's 1940 block. Justin Seidenfeld blended that with fruit from 40-year-old estate vineyards in Alexander and Russian River valleys, producing what is, on first taste, a gentle, richly oaked, raspberry-scented zin. With air, it begins yielding spice the way chorizo yields spice as it warms, then builds with a lovely fruit freshness and raspberry clarity. By the fourth day open, it's fresher and more vibrant than ever, suggesting a long life ahead. Score - 92. (wineandspiritsmagazine.com, Feb. 2019)
