Variety: Zinfandel (100%)
Tasting Notes: The 2023 Post & Vine Stampede Zinfandel opens generously with red licorice, ripe red plum, and loganberry, wrapped in warm cinnamon spice and a whisper of cedar. A touch of spearmint and brown bread rounds out the aromatics into something layered and inviting. On the palate, this Zinfandel is juicy and forward, medium-light in body with bright, integrated acidity that keeps things lively without ever feeling sharp.
The mouthfeel is smooth and seamless, carrying those same red licorice and tangy red plum notes through the mid-palate, joined by hints of fruitcake, black tea, and a cool lift. Cinnamon and cedar linger alongside soft, well-managed tannins. The finish is dry and unhurried, with fruit, spice, and acidity drifting off gently in this easy-drinking, food-friendly wine.
