2008 Storybook Mountain "Mayacamas Range" Napa Valley Zinfandel

One 750ml bottle

This is Storybook’s primary estate wine from 100% Napa Valley organically grown grapes. Here you will find all the richness and fruit for which Zinfandel is famous, plus the depth and structure associated with Napa hillside vineyards, and the balance for which Storybook wines are known. Crafted to be enjoyed upon release, the wine's notable depth and balance will continue its appeal well into the future. 
 
"There's something about the way Zin ripens in the east-facing hills north of Calistoga that appeals to me in my gut as much as my brain. It has the freshness of blackberries picked on a hike in Point Reyes. That wild berry flavor tinges toward brighter fruit, layering vibrant strawberry, tart raspberry and cracked black pepper into a savory Napa Valley red. Yum may not be a technical term, but I wrote it twice in a 20 wine tasting, once for this wine and again for Storybook's Antaeus. Balanced, sophisticated and elegant, this gains with air and would be delicious with simple roast leg of lamb." - Wine & Spirits Magazine (95 points)
