(May 31, 2020) ... My first post-CoVid (nope we're not there yet), let's call it post-lock-down dinner, when we were allowed to expand our bubble outside our own house ... so I added my brother and his family into the mix (who else?). It seemed a good reason to celebrate and out came this Zin from Caymus from a vintage where they "simply nailed" Zinfandel. Plum, black cherry, spice-blackberry, hints of chocolate and mocha with vanilla backing. Silky smooth entry with a spicy finish. The more you sip the juicier and more succulent the wine gets, the more enjoyable it is and that long finish throws it to yet another level.
