Morisoli Vineyard ‘Plinio's Block’ Zinfandel 2024 Review
When you sip this wine, you are drinking the product of a California heritage site. This bottling comes from Plinio's Block, a vineyard in the heart of Napa’s Rutherford AVA that was planted in the 1910s. This is as site-specific as it gets, and a historical bottle at that. The nose is floral, with rich wild berry jam and a slight note of anise. The palate is focused and amazingly balanced. The fruit has a soft, medium concentration. This is an American classic.
