2020 Limerick Lane Zinfandel “1910 Block” Russian River Valley

San Francisco Wine Panel Score 99+ Points

The very definition of classic ancient vine Zinfandel, this is a stunner from the first sip. Deep, opulent and loaded with concentrated fruit and spice, the nose offers aromas of sour dark cherry, grenadine, raspberry coulis, sweet red licorice, coriander seed, dark earth and licorice root. On the palate, it is plush in texture, piquantly fruity and shows notable minerality and a rich vein of licorice root to underscore tongue-coating flavors that seem a darker and more savory mirror of the nose. The finish lingers with everything that precedes it well represented. Wonderful already, another three years or so in the cellar should make it perfect, and it will likely prove long lived.
