Nalle Winery Zinot Noir 2022 Review
This wine is named “Zinot Noir” as a playful nod to the unexpected blend: Zinfandel and Pinot Noir. To blend these grapes together is to have all sorts of confidence and dammit Nalle has it because this wine really works. It has a nose of tart wild berries and fall leaves with a slight hint of pepper. The palate is very balanced with a soft fruit that just matches the acidity. The mouthfeel has welcome viscosity to fill in the gaps. This is as American as it gets.
