TN: 2018 Limerick Lane Zinfandel Russian River Valley

Did anyone on the east coast receive their wine, yet? Mine has been pending with expected departure from Elizabeth New Jersey for a week. I’m sure it’s fine–just curious.

Mine arrived yesterday—gave one the Pobega treatment.
Sometimes Zin is a little angular for me, but to my palate LL wines smooth some of the rough edges while still keeping a great wild berry flavors. The new bottling is wonderful; I might hide a few from myself to see how they age. Otherwise they will disappear quickly.

Sounds great. I also got mine yesterday–I just needed to be a little more patient. They took an unusual route to get to me, with next day air after an initial stop in New Jersey–appears to have been all “cold chain” and then they were at my local Fedex facility for pickup before things turned too hot in the morning.

  Opened and followed over two nights. All the red and purple fruit you expect from the RRV in a concentrated nose. Very soft elegant texture that just explodes with ripe zinberry, mouthwatering acidity and fine grained tannins. Crunchy red fruit lingers on through the long finish. This is the second bottle I’ve popped in the past week and this wine screams for BBQ. Last night Baby Back Ribs and tonight Tri-Tip were perfect matches. Last week with a lesser protein the wine showed some heat but not this bottle. Man if this was $20 every year I’d drink a whole lot more of it. This case will be history before the year is up.
  Next up is the Marquis which really intrigues me.

Gave it a try today and could not agree more. Really good for such a young Zin. If this was $20 I would also drink a whole lot more of it as well.
