Note di degustazione
The 2023 Zinfandel Stagecoach Vineyard reveals juicy red and blue fruits, crushed stone, peppery herbs, and violet/orange nuances that develop nicely with time in the glass. Aged nine months in 25% new French oak, it's medium-bodied, juicy, fresh, and focused on the palate, with nicely integrated acidity and fine tannins. It's already expressive and complex, yet given its acidity and balance, it should keep for 10-15 years. Drink 2025-2040.

One of the few Biale Zins to come from relatively young vines, the medium to full-bodied 2023 Zinfandel Stagecoach Vineyard is a tight, taut offering, loaded with bright cherries and raspberries and framed by dusty tannins and mouthwatering acids. Give it another couple of years to loosen up and then drink it over the next several years after that.
Full bottle 1,307 g. Medium purple with a fuchsia rim. Lifted, savoury herbal quality to the nose alongside dark fruit. Incredibly high, tangy acid that runs the length of the palate – calling it mouth-wateringly high wouldn't quite illustrate how much salivation it causes. Lightly astringent tannin. This one requires a couple years to mellow. (SCJ)
The 2023 Zinfandel Stagecoach Vineyard is another highlight in this range. Bright saline notes cut through a core of blue/purplish fruits. Readers will find a brilliant, salivating Zinfandel endowed with tons of mountain character. Far from an easygoing wine, the Stagecoach needs time and, ideally, food at the dinner table. There's a lot of wine here.
