Kokomo Winery Timber Crest Vineyard Zinfandel 2023 Review
Winemaker Erik Miller and grower Randy Peters are one hell of a match. If you visit their homey and welcoming tasting room and get a chance to speak with Miller, have a seat, you’ll be there for a while. His attention to detail and approach to wine is so focused that he can speak about it for hours. Sit with Peters and you will get chapters of Dry Creek Valley wine history. Together, they make wonderful wines that we at VinePair have enjoyed over the years. With this being our first taste of one of their Zinfandels, it reinforces this amazing partnership. This wine is incredible. The nose is savory with notes of black tea, tree bark, and cooking herbs, accented by tangy boysenberries. The palate is soft and deep with quiet, edgy tannins and a waft of herbs and savory earth.
