2012 Napa Valley wines are the current sweethearts of wine critics everywhere. It is true that 2012’s are some of the best in the last few years. 2010s are great - if you can find them - but 2012 is really shaping up to be the new it vintage.
Quantity is limited, so be sure to reserve yours soon.
This wine is fragrant and full on the nose with a wonderful bouquet of fresh berries, spice and woodsy notes. Blackberry and blueberry take the lead, followed by cassis, tree bark, dried violets, sweet spice, graphite and black pepper.
As with the nose, this wine is packed with balanced flavors. Initially, blackberry jam, plum jam and smoky blueberry cascade across the palate. These are closely followed by roasted fig, dried dark flowers, cigar box, spice and black pepper.
Napa Valley Zins are great, and our favorites are those that grow at the higher, mountainside elevations. Today’s wine was grown on the North East slope of Howell Mountain at 700’ elevation, on a picturesque bench vineyard that overlooks Pope Valley to the north and Lake Berryessa to the east.
Find out why Maroon Wines is one of the most popular wineries among our faithful Operatives, and be sure to take advantage of the special savings that we’re offering - today only.
At today’s price, you won’t be disappointed. Unless you miss out…
