2019 Pestoni Zinfandel 1892 Field Blend, "Quackenbush", Lake County

SF Wine Panel Score 93 Points

Rich, notably harmonious and more so as it airs, this very satisfying and dinner worthy old vine Zinfandel is a complex melding of dark cherry, red plum, mulling spice, star anise, peppery broth and toffee scents. It is fruit-centric on the palate and grows ever more so as it airs, delivering lots of cherry and anise at the finish, with a splendid texture and impressive length. Although it already offers mature flavor development it may grow even finer with another year of cellaring. 420 cases produced.
