2021 Bella Zinfandel Block 10

Pouring a deep red color, the 2021 Zinfandel Block 10 opens to aromas of leather, dried red plum, melding spice, and tobacco. The palate is juicy and ripe, with a full-bodied feel, a supple, silky texture, and a modest finish. It’s a charming and savory wine to enjoy over the near term. I tasted the Block 10 and Rocks Edge last year and scored them in the low 90s, but they seem now to be overdeveloped.
