Storybook Mountain Vineyards 2018 Zinfandel Napa Estate Eastern Exposures
Description
Storybook Mountain 2018 Eastern Exposures Zinfandel
The cool eastern exposures of a volcanic hillside overlooking Mr. St. Helena produced this gold standard of Napa Valley red wine. Tastings Editor Corey Warren described its scent as California forest, citrus, blackberry and herb. That distinctly California-woodlands scent appeared in my own notes as madrone, pine and wild blueberry. This is a savory red, all about brisk and bold tension in its structure and freshness in its fruit. The lively interplay of floral, herbal, fruity and umami is a window into the complexity this wine will develop with age. Drink some now to enjoy Napa Valley classic in its youth, then cellar the rest for a decade or more. 96 PointsReviewed by Joshua Greene, Wine & Spirits June 2022
This is more to the red fruits and a bit lifted with a bit of huckleberry and a pretty light cedar tone. On the palate this is moderate in weight with a good mix of red and black fruits with some green peppercorn as well. D&M Tasting Notes
