Note di degustazione
The 2021 Problem Child is a blend of 55% Zinfandel, 17% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 8% Carignan, 5% Graciano and 5% Mourvèdre. It has intense aromas of baked raspberries and cherries with accents of cinnamon, bay leaves and dark spices. The full-bodied palate is youthfully coiled, its fruit streaked with graphite. It has loads of powdery tannins balanced by fresh acidity and a very long, licorice-laced finish. It deserves 3-5 years in bottle to unwind.

55% Zinfandel, 17% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 8% Carignan, 5% Graciano, 5% Mourvèdre. Aged 17 months in 500-litre puncheons and 265-litre American oak barriques (20% new). 500 cases produced. Tasted blind. Deep opaque purple. Plummy with notes of spice cake and cinnamon, richly layered with sweet dark cherry, and high acidity. Soft, plummy tannin and a spicy oak-driven finish. (SCJ)
The 2021 Problem Child (55% Zinfandel, 17% Grenache, 10% Syrah, and smaller amounts of Carignan, Graciano, and Mourvèdre) brings a darker, slightly more earthy edge in its black and blue fruits as well as candied violets, pepper, and baking spice-driven aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has the plush, layered, incredibly supple style found in all these 2021s. Drink this beauty over the coming decade. Winemaker Matt Trevisan continues to be the master of the blend and produces exotic, singular, incredibly compelling wines based largely on Rhône varieties as well as ample Zinfandel-dominated wines.
