Cutter CascadiaZinfandel “Come On, Come On” (750ml)

This is an impossible wine to explain. On the first day, the wine was so savory, to say nothing of it’s tensile, almost satiny-brisk energy, that I had a hard time contextualizing this as a Zinfandel. One day two, that perfumed fruit started to show itself, but still, it is simply unlike any Zinfandel I have ever had… and I mean in a brilliant way.

Most expectations you have regarding Zinfandel will just not be relevant here. I guess you could think Zinfandel meets Jura Trousseau meets something from a very esoteric Northern Italian DOC? …but that’s a very thin rope to hold on to, admittedly.
