One of the most oft questions about Zinfandel is: The wine is rich, but where is the balance? Well, the 2013 Mauritson has it all. From the first explosion of beautiful fruit in the nose to the last delectable feel on the palate, this one delicately plays well in place where power is restrained and beautiful. Medium to dark ruby in color; attractive berries and some smoke and earth in the nose, excellent depth and persistence; medium bodied, packed, yet restrained on the palate; quite good and tasty with bright berries and spice, lots of rewards; savory; long finish, supple and fresh in the aftertaste.
