What Possessed Us To Open Wine?
It was a Friday night. There was pizza. David thinks that pizza means wine. His mother used to think that you must have beer with pizza. It’s a family thing.
What Did The Label Want Us To Know?
It points out in the name that it is “old patch” and goes on to say that it is Lot #32. Does that just make it sound romantically linked to the ground or do I have a way of looking on Google Earth and seeing Lot #32? Or is this their 32nd try this year or their 32nd year?They also mention North Coast, and the winery is located in Geyserville, CA. They list the 2010 blend which is 54% Zinfandel, 11% Carignane, 4% Tempranillo, and to explain why I loved this wine: 31% Petite Sirah! (my new love) We tasted this wine before I read the back, but reading Petite Sirah explained a lot to me. They use descriptors: jammy, berry, black cherries, plums, peppery and spicy.
What’s So Great About It?
David thought big oak on nose and a little tobacco on the long smooth finish. He said he will definitely be drinking this again. My first impression was of chocolate. I don’t know why, but it reminded me of some kind of candy. I was in love with it immediately.
Someone Else’s More Qualified Opinion:
This is not the same year but best I could find!
