Tasting notes
Planted in 1885 – Paso's oldest vineyard. Limestone soils. Medium ruby. Black cherry, black plum, fresh high acid, chewy tannin. Light bramble spice and a touch of cola to the finish. The whole package – just lovely! (SCJ)

Planted on calcareous shale soils, the 2022 Zinfandel Ueberroth Vineyard leads with a compelling, brooding nose of iron, tree bark, autumn leaves, scorched earth and a deep core of just-ripe wild red cherry fruit. The palate is dense and saturated with immense concentration but has the framing to hold it without going out of balance. The finish combines punchy, ripe fruit flavors with a fine, dusty tannin structure lined with vibrant, mineral-laced acidity. This wine does an admirable job of straddling monolithic density and lifted vibrancy and deserves several years in bottle to unwind and further come into itself.
