Good natural cork, opened and decanted one hour just to let it breathe.
$24 Cdn, 14.5% alc. I used to see a whole bunch of Zins from PC but guess agent change so lack of consistent supply right now.
No real depth of color at all, nose has strawberry, cherry, no oak noted. Guess pretty well entry level. Initial thought on entry is some ripe fruit here, classic brambleberry, low tannins, good acidity but lighter-bodied wine.
" Blackberry..no pepper or spice" from across the table. Smooth texture, nice zinfandel for those intrigued to try.

cool.
I actually prefered the OTHER Contra Costa vineyard when I tried them both a few months back.
More generally, I need to try some Bedrock wines!

If you ever find your way out my direction, Brian, I'll open up one for you. I daresay that an Arbois-o-phile such as yourself would find a lot to like in them. Alteratively, I'll bring one out with me the next time I'm headed your way. As a former resident of Contra Costa county, I'll point out that the Cline brothers made their first big splash with grapes sourced from old vineyards in the Contra Costa delta. Problems ensued when they ran into liability problems with environmental concerns in some of those old vineyards.

Drinking Laura Zahtila Zin! Very nice. Maybe a touch too much oak, but nice after dinner.
