"From relatively young vines by Zinfandel standards (this block was planted to heritage selections in 1999), Biale's 2021 Zinfandel Stagecoach Vineyard features a fun mix of red raspberries and blackberries, with hints of citrus and black tea in the mix. Aged similarly to the other Zins in the lineup (10 months in French oak, 25% new), it shows the cedary wood a bit more, and combined with the site's inherent structure, the resulting tannins are a bit firm at the moment. Give it another year or two."

"A generous zin with a contrast of candied- and sour-cherry flavors, this is supple, black and brown, ending on dusty grape-skin tannins that give it shape and a bite, for flank steak."
