The SierraVista was too quiet a wine for my leftover sausage pasta, so cracked:

A wee BloodyPulpit:

  1. This is the basic LL Zin. Though not as big/interesting/profound as the RockyKnoll or 1910 block, it’s a solid/good-drinking classic RRV Zin.

Thanks for the note, Tom!

I first tasted LL in December of '14, the 2012 Rocky Knoll. I was very impressed. Along with the customer service, Limerick Lane has been a standout in my book. I am happy to support the Bilbros in every way possible. After all, they brought the Marietta Old Vine Red to my little Louisiana world years ago, making many people happy!
