Molly’s sold out and that we knew was bound to happen. Here’s where things get TRIPI.

Yes, Wine Spectator we know, we know… “if you’re a hedonist who loves big, jammy Zins, don’t miss the wines from Wilson.”

So here is #2 of the mini-Wilson Family zin-a-thon by Matrix this time!

With the MASSIVE demand for more deals from them, we now have to piecemeal smaller lots for putting a day like this together. These are not easy to get, every single one we laid our eyes and hands on last year sold out. You’ll recall that over many years this icon sold through mountains of Zinfandel with ease through a devout mailing list. Times changed when we were granted access to these extraordinary wines while they last, at prices that the said mailing list would dream of.

You like ‘em bold? You like ‘em chunky? You’re in the right place!

The insanely reliable Wilson Artisan Wineries group delivers every time. This small portfolio of boutique wineries has been hugely popular year after year since their humble beginnings in the early 1990s. With wines scoring big regularly with publications such as Wine Spectator, and an impeccable track record of literally hundreds of Gold Medals from competitions, they are unrivaled, just like their other acclaimed sister properties: Mazzocco, Matrix, Pezzi King, and Rockpile to name a few.

In fact, they’ve been so popular that the mainstream press can’t seem to catch up with reviewing these anymore before they sell out. The accolade worth noting is the Double Gold with 96 points from the 2024 North Coast Wine Challenge by The Press Democrat this year, up there with other top Zins.

Seductively from Russian River Valley for a change, less structural, more sensual. Tripi Zin by Matrix gets big accolades like all their wines yet comes at a TRIPPY price today. Just $25. Dizzying aromas of red and black raspberry as well as orange zest open to the balanced, complex, and luxurious layers of blackberry, mint, and baking spices. A true knockout.

Wilson Family Zins out serious Biale, Beekeeper, Martinelli, older Rosenblum or Turley kinda hall-of-fame Zin vibes… no wonder they’ve scooped up every local award since 1993!

There’s very little of these end-of-the-vintage lots. We warned you.
