Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
2018 CORO MENDOCINO DNA Vineyards Red Blend
Deeply saturated ruby hue, blackberry with earthy notes of cedar and coffee. Velvety entry leads to a juicy blueberry core with tannic structure building to the finish. Hints of chicory and chocolate unfurl with time in the glass. An age-worthy, textural blend of mature vine Zinfandel and mountain-grown varieties. ABV13.96% 55% Zinfandel, 31% Syrah, 14% Petite Sirah, 22 months matured in French oak barrels

“This dark-colored, concentrated and moderately tannic wine fills its big structure with very focused, pure black-cherry and blackberry flavors. A sense of polish in the texture and layering in the flavors raise this region-specific Zinfandel-based blend above the ordinary. Best now–2027.”
