Churchview Limited Release Zinfandel 2023

Zinfandel tends to be more of a curio than anything else in this country, but if you are serious about it, go West, young person. Dark maroon, the nose offers notes of toasty oak on the opening. This is supported by aromas weaving through chocolate, black cherries, smoked meats, plums, coffee grinds, mocha, spices, vanilla and nutmeg. This is a wine of focus and good intensity. It is of medium length and offers juicy acidity. Enjoy this over the next eight to ten years.
