La Storia Zinfandel 2022

The 2022 vintage is definitely in the riper than usual spectrum of flavors and aromas due to the warmer than normal weather patterns in 2022. The wine has intense varietal aromas of dark cherry, plums, blackberry jam and a hint of violets. The fine oak barrel aging brings in subtle aromas of vanilla, maple syrup, cocoa beans and slight toast. The mouth feel is solid, with full body and very soft and elegant tannins that accentuate the wine’s long and juicy finish with moderate acidity. Zinfandels when balanced are very versatile food pairing wines with broad range and this wine will satisfy your palate with many of your favorite dishes. The wine is delicious now but with some patience and proper aging in 2-5 years it will be even better.
