Meza Wine Club: March 2025
Discovery Red / Red
Wine 1: Alexander Valley Vineyards ‘Sin Zin’
In 1978 Hank Wetzel produced the first vintage of Sin Zin and wine drinkers fell in love with the elegant, balanced flavors of Zinfandel from Alexander Valley Vineyards. Story of the Label: Everyone is always curious about the origin of Sin Zin’s label. Leafing through an old art history book, Katie Wetzel Murphy came upon a captivating illustration, a German etching, drawn by Moritz von Schwind around 1843. The image was titled: Des Knabben Wunderhorn, meaning “The Boy’s Magic Horn”. Katie thought the image looked perfect for a wine label, and its bacchanalian character inspired her to name our rich and robust wine Sin Zin. The first vintage debuted in 1978 and was given to friends and family. The label has been updated four times since that first vintage. Loads of spicy, fruity aromas of dark fruits - black cherry and boysenberry, dark chocolate, black pepper, oak and a hint of vanilla. Dark fruits & spicy pepper. Smooth & lush. One of the most versatile food wines, try it with antipasto platters, hard cheeses, pizza, grilled meats, roasted poultry or Italian cuisine.
Wine 2: Domaine Laroque Pinot Noir
100% Pinot Noir from the Languedoc region of Southern France. Earth and fruit aromas with a fruity sweetness and dried spices on the nose. The mouth is charming, juicy and straightforward. Medium tannins linger on the finish alongside a hint of roasted cocoa nib. An excellent option for those who enjoy a more gentle and approachable style.
