We have found Stacked Stone Cellars in Paso Robles produces some very nice wines. We have previously reviewed the Quarry and the Quarry Reserve. Today we are having the 2006 Stacked Stone Cellars Zin Stone
. This is their flagship wine, dry farmed and head pruned. The first thing we noticed was the color, it was a light ruby, much like a Pinot Noir. There was a light nose of raspberry and flavors of light red fruit with some black tea. The wine felt very light in the mouth and the tannins were light and smooth along with good acid. Even at 15% alc. this is a very civilized wine and will make a great summertime wine. Recommended, particularly if you like Zinfandel that is not over the top jammy and ripe.
We enjoy wine, food and travel. Pull That Cork is a chronicle of our wine adventures, the food and wine pairings we create and our travels which are increasingly organized around wine.
