2023 Wood Family Vineyards “Muy Bueno” Zinfandel – Just in Time for Holidays??
The Wine – “Wine is bottled poetry” – Robert Louis Stevenson. Being produced from one vineyard in Livermore provides a “terroir” of distinction. A dark wine in the glass with medium-heavy viscosity, yet translucent on the edges. Strong aromas of black fruits greet the imbiber followed by tastes of jammy, brightness of plums, red and black cherries and freshly picked berries providing an unparalleled juiciness of flavors. On the palate, the fruit is lively and refreshing with a tinge of spicy nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves. A reminder of Christmas spices. On the finish anise and black pepper notes linger along with the jammy fruit and from memory, just a bit more sweetness than the previous vintage. The wine will be released in November.
