TN: 2016 Once & Future Wine Zinfandel Frank's Block Teldeschi Vineyard

Is there a Once & Future release coming soon? Regardless thought it would be fun to open this.

Purple in color. 15% ABV. Sublime nose of red fruits, cocoa, anise and pepper. Full bodied with mouth watering acidity. Impeccably balanced and absolutely packed with lush, bright fruits. Black cherry, blueberry, raspberry liqueur and pepper on the palate. Exceptional length on the finish. Joel Peterson is once again at the top of his game at Once & Future. Best over the next 2-4 years.

My rating: 95 points.

Sounds lovely. Teldeschi often seems to shut down for a bit, but your bottle sounds very open.

Great note as always my friend! Big fan of all the O&F wines, but Frank’s Block is my favorite, year in/out. Special Vineyard and Joel knows exactly what to do with the fruit.
