Have you tried the Zin from Sky on Mt Veeder? One of the most compelling reds I tried last year. Zin's pretty hit-and-miss with my students at all levels. They're a bit wary of its often boozy nature. But I enjoy grappling with it whenever it retains a bit of zestiness.
I used to think Zin was not good because of cheap boxed White Zinfandel I had at parties in. college. In recent years though some of my favorite wines have been Zins. One that I order often from Naked wines is very affordable, Sharon Weeks Cattoo Lodi Reserve Zinfandel 2020.
This was a great read, Nick. Who knew these three wines were all descendants of the same grape variety? The word "Zinfandel" has always made my skin crawl after drinking too much Blossom Hill White Zinfandel as a teenager. But, I think I'll give some of these a go!
