Wilson Foreigner Zinfandel 2018
Central Coast, California, United StatesFrom a historic Contra Costa County vineyard, owned and managed by the past 4 generations of the Del Barba family. These old-rooted vines were planted in 1910 in granitic soils. 15% of fruit was whole cluster, and all went into concrete for a native ferment, finishing off in neutral French oak barrels. It remained here until bottling, without fining or filtration, and just a small amount of sulphur. Super floral with plush violets, blueberry jam, baked plum, on a soft, juicy, yet sophisticated palate, framed with fine, long and firm tannins. The old vines speak for themselves, and though this is a mind-bending 15.7 degrees, feels much fresher, lighter, and prettier.Tasted: 07 April 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $70.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
