Edmeades Zinfandel 2015
Mendocino County, California, United StatesI like the evolution of this wine, now a little less funky and a little more dependable, but still with that bright Mendocino fruit character. Now just under 30 years old the fruit is sourced from across 64 acres inside the Mendocino AVA, including Mendocino Ridge, Redwood Valley and the Anderson Valley appellations. Old fruit is a pillar of Edmeades, with Ciapusci Vineyard planted in 1878, Perli Vineyard planted in the late 1800’s, Zeni Vineyard planted in 1910 and Piffero Vineyard planted in 1930. Wines are made in an artisanal way, using small, open top fermenters, indigenous yeast fermentations, and are bottled unfined and unfiltered. I love the peppery, blackberry jam aromas and a savoury undercurrent. It’s already delicious drinking but should be fine for the next three to five years. Perfect with grilled meat or chicken dishes.Tasted: 21 February 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $23.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
