Sky Vineyards Estate Bottled Mt. Veeder Zinfandel 2013

The 2013 Zinfandel from Sky Vineyards is really, really good and really classical in profile... outstanding complexity on both the nose and palate. The bouquet is flat out stellar, delivering a superbly complex blend of black raspberries, cassis, lovely spice tones, a bit of cigar smoke, a great base of mountain soil, smoked meats and a whisper of cedar... On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, focused and complex, with ripe tannins, good, bright acids, excellent focus and grip and a long, balanced and promising, old school finish. Sky’s founder and present owner, Lore Olds, started Sky by purchasing and planting property up above Mayacamas in 1973 (where he was working at the time) and today, this is about as close as one can get to a Bob Travers wine as you could ask for!... it will be long-lived and flat out superb for a long, long time...
