2007 was an excellent year for Zinfandel and the Easton Zins are no exception. This wine is purple in color. It has a great nose bordering on a right bank Bordeaux with some age. Deep with black cherries and some tobacco. On the palate, it seems to be youthful still but showing some maturity. Juicy black cherry fruit. There is a nice complexity here. Good finish. Food friendly. It might not get better but should be here for a while.
Purple in color. Clear and bright. The nose is nice with black cherries and black olives. With air, some tart cranberries on the nose. Medium tannins. Good black cherry fruit on the palate. A bit clipped on the finish. Overall, this is in a good place and drinking nicely but with some maturity. Impressive at age 14. Easily seems like it has a decade left.
I first tried this wine a few years ago and was impressed by how well it had help. It has aged a bit since then but still is remarkably fresh. This was bolder in style than the Fiddletown. Purple in color. The nose has black cherries and bramble. Juicy acidity on the palate. More plum fruit as well. Overall a very nice and delicious Zin Food friendly and seemingly with another decade left.
This was the top wine in a comprehensive vertical of Easton Zinfandels. Purple in color. What a great nose; deep with black cherry fruit notes. On the palate, this is a claret styled Zin. Deep and a nice complexity. Wonderful texture. Lots of black cherry fruit. Nice finish. A delicious wine that is drinking great today and should be here for a decade. Food friendly or great on its own.
