Buehler Zinfandel, Napa Valley, California 2019

Our Zinfandel was aged for 12 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels, 20% of which were new. At this level of ?????new wood?????, the up-front endearing quality of Zinfandel can assert itself. Aromas of a briar patch on a hot summer day carry over to the palate and are carried in a mouth-filling, deeply layered, juicy package. The wine was crafted for immediate enjoyment but for those who enjoy a more complex wine displaying some bottle-aged character, aging for another two to three years is a good option.
