COMMENTARY: The 2016 Day El Diablo Vineyard Zinfandel is elegant and styling from start to finish. TASTING NOTES: This wine shows extraction before play nicely on the palate and in the finish. Pair its well-defined aromas and flavors of ripe berries and anise accents with grilled tri-tip. (Tasted: May 13, 2019, San Francisco, CA)

From a site in the Russian River Valley, the 2016 Zinfandel El Diablo Vineyard just about screams “Zinfandel” at the top of its lungs with its utterly classic perfume of mulberries, plum, incense, and exotic spices. With medium-bodied aromas and flavors, integrated acidity, and a weightless texture, this puppy just glides over the palate and is a joy to drink. It should keep for 7-8 years.
