This Wine Rocks: 2015 Novy Family Winery Limerick Lane Vineyard Zinfandel Russian River Valley
Wine Enthusiast referred to Zinfandel as “California’s own grape” although its origins can be traced back to Croatia. But, if you’re looking for high-quality Zinfandel there’s one place that should be on your radar, Russian River Valley.
Russian River Valley is a wine cultivation paradise. Admired by some of the most important wine critics in the world. Wine Spectator expressed its feelings in an article titled “Loving Russian River Valley to death” where they wrote that “it's a remarkable place to grow wine, one of the best and most versatile wine regions in California, capable of producing excellent Zinfandels.”
Today, we have one of the most amazing RRV Zinfandels, Adam Lee's 2x91pt 2015 Novy Family Winery Limerick Lane Vineyard Zinfandel Russian River Valley.
Produced by Adam Lee, a legend in the world of wine and one of the most important winemakers in California. If you haven’t heard of him, perhaps his winery Siduri will ring the bell. Siduri is a cult-status winery located in California. While Siduri is one of the most classic and recognized wine brands in the US; at Novy Winery, Adam has a different approach, playing with grapes and styles to produce fun, vibrant and unique wines. Novy is the fun little brother of Siduri.
Since its inception, Novy's wines have been highly favored. Wine Spectator has even featured them among the “Top 100 wines of the year” on different occasions. And today's offer is not the exception.
Wine Spectator called this an "energetic and plump" wine "with personality" in its 91-point review. Vinous Media stated that "The 2015 Zinfandel Limerick Lane Vineyard has turned out beautifully," and Wine Enthusiast tells us that this wine is "big and brawny, it's also softly textured and layered, winning one over in its head-on hedonism" both wrapping up their reviews with 90 points.
So, here's the deal: A "hedonistic" 2x91 point Russian River Zin, crafted by one of the world's most important winemakers, coming from a 94-point vintage and at less than $25/bottle (+ free shipping on 6+ bottles!)
