Wine Review: This slightly opaque and medium purple colored Zinfandel opens with a boysenberry and strawberry bouquet with a hint of prune, pipe tobacco, and black cherry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is well balanced, silky, concentrated, and opulent. The flavor profile is a stewed red plum and ripe black raspberry blend with notes of chalky minerality and strawberry Twizzler along with hints of cedar and cola. Its moderate well-managed tannins fade away nicely. The Tasting Panel would pair this Zin with veal parmigiana. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Paper Street Vineyard is delivering an exceptional fruit in 2019 and its expression so early in the bottle is amazing. Butterscotch and toasted creme brûlée on the nose. Silky on the mid-palate with bursts of wild dark berries. Its structure delicately straddles both grit and elegance for an elevated Paso Robles Zinfandel, the James Bond of Zinfandels.
