the 2021 Zinfandel Pagani Ranch is highly aromatic and jumps out of the glass with wild strawberries

dark chocolate

unique amongst the whites of California

2024 Clos du Mont-Olivet Cotes du Rhone Vieilles Vignes Subregion_Chablis the 2021 Zinfandel Pagani RanchProducer: Clos du Mont Olivet Region: Ctes du Rhne, Rhne, France Blend: 50% Grenache, 40% Syrah, 10% Carignan Year: 2024 James Suckling, 92 Points "A rich and generous Cotes du Rhone with tons of damson plums and ripe blackberries, but also notes of hot, dry earth and spice. Lovely, rich and creamy mid palate with tons of soft tannin, then a long, silky finish. A touch of overripe plum comes though at the end, but the wine remains balanced and subtle.
