What wine have you been waiting for? I’ve been waiting so long for this day! One of my favorite winemakers, Gerard Zanzonico, left his many decades as winemaker at Del Dotto behind him and moved to Baja! He has been making wine there for a bit, and finally we have a distributor that can get his wine exported! So, I got my hands around a Vinos Zanzonico 2017 Syrah Reserva, 100% Syrah, 13.5% alcohol, from the Valle de la Grulla area of Baja. With a regal dark purple color, I was drawn in to fantastic aromas of sweet black cherry, plum, tri-color peppercorns, layers of rich bark, milk chocolate…all very welcoming. I went in for a taste and was rewarded with a very rich and layered mouthfeel, with dark and dry blue to black fruit, grilled mushrooms, peppery spicy goodness and tannins that held my back palate at attention for a length that just would…not…quit. 99 Eve points. Would have been 100 if I could’ve tasted it with Gerard. Seriously. Find this wine at LMA Wines in San Diego. . . . #EveBushmanWhatsInYourGlass #ZanzonicoWine #GerardZanzonico #BestWinemaker #BajaWine #MexicoWine #Syrah #WineLover #SyrahLover #WineTasting #TastingNotes #Wino #DrinkWine @LMAWines (at Baja California, Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGC9U3dAoQE/?igshid=w2ybkool175t
