Novy Zinfandel 2016
Russian River, Sonoma County, California, United StatesThe Novy zin is an explosion of pure raspberry on the nose and palate with bright acidity and spice to balance. The secret is a stellar bunch of vineyards: Jensen Lane Vineyard (planted in 1915), the Limerick Lane Vineyard (planted in 1910), and the Carlisle Vineyard (planted in 1927). Old vineyards bring fruit like no other, but they also provide the acidity to keep the wine fresh. Even the prolonged drought in 2016 was no match for these deep-rooted vines, dry-farmed since they were planted. The juice is kept separate by vineyard to allow for a barrel selection of the best wine, aged in all French oak (one/fifth new).Tasted: 04 June 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $46.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
