Mission Codename The Granite Cliff
We love Love LOVE when Miro Tcholakov stops by our weekly tastings. Not only does he add his expert winemaking opinion and wit to the panel (really, he regales us with exciting tales), but he always brings a few of his delicious gems in tow as well. This week was no different. Miro brought us his 2012 Piccetti Vineyard Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel which, once again, sent us over the moon.
A beautiful dark red in the glass, today’s wine has classic notes of rich, dark fruit, espresso bean, and dark spice through and through - in other words, this wine delivers exactly what one hopes for in a top-tier Zinfandel. And the most amazing part? Today’s wine is only $18.99.
At today’s price, a few Agents are going to be snapping up this wine by the CASE, so please hurry! The sell-out timer is counting down fast…
