Less expensive than the single-vineyard Carlisle Zins, but blended from some of the best of these vineyards, the 2017 Piner-Olivet is not far behind in terms of quality. Bright and cheerful Zin with some Pinot-like character in its berry fruit and weight and graceful mouth-feel. Nice acidity keeps it fresh and lively. Undoubtedly suffered some from being opened next to the a bigger and more assertive 2017 Carlisle Pagani Ranch Zin. - HK 2023-01-23
