2014 Martinelli Vineyards Zinfandel Jackass Vineyard Russian River Valley

"The 2014 Zinfandel Jackass Vineyard (217 cases clocking in at a whopping 16.6% natural alcohol) is absolutely ravishingly rich, extravagantly full-bodied and unctuously textured, with notes of charcuterie, barbecue meats, smoke, herbs, blackberry, cassis and a finish that just oozes over the palate with no hard edges. This is the quintessential old vine Zinfandel and a remarkable effort. Drink it over the next 15-20+ years."-(RP) Review Date: March 2016
