It changed and opened so much more after four hours. After an hour had fruit and layers and undertones. Each and bramble and yummyness. Then, we went back, another cherry fruit opened up and took over. Both excellent. Layers both ways. Long finish. Very fun and excellent wine (1106 views) | | | Tasted by westcoastwannabe on 2/27/2024 & rated 91 points: Decanted for an hour. Tasting great with blackberry and other dark fruit. Good foundation built with nice acid and tannins and depth. Everything remains in place on the lengthy finish. 91-92.

Great fruit on Nose and P. Raspberry, cherry and black currant. Green herbs and a bit of floral brightness.
More power than the old vine zinfandel but the finish fades a bit. (2080 views) | | | Tasted by Brockster303 on 7/2/2023 & rated 94 points: Aerated, decanted and then poured and ENJOYED! Great bottle and drinking great now. Will definitely buy more. (1959 views) | | | Tasted by khmark7 on 4/14/2023 & rated 90 points: Bright and vibrant. You can taste the Carignane in the background. Good pairing with grilled beef. (2322 views) | | | Tasted by mpricher on 2/12/2023 & rated 92 points: Deep dark and brooding, with obnoxious jammy fruit leaping from the glass. Bursting with berry flavor, and a richness, but not harsh or too alcoholic. Very good balance and we polished off this bottle with desert! We’ll done MTP! (2240 views) | | | Tasted by Rieslingfan on 6/29/2022: Early days, but this is open and luscious, reminding me more than a little of the sappiness of the Evangelho Heritage wine. The last glass on night two has calmed down, and shows a more classic Dry Creek character, though it’s still on the ample side. Boysenberry fruit with moderate back end tannins, this is very enjoyable drinking right now. It has plenty of stuffing to age, but why not just have fun! (3046 views) | | | Tasted by Eatmypixels on 3/10/2022 & rated 93 points: That was spectacular long finish. Bright dark cherries. Nice middle everything hit. (2730 views) | | | Tasted by Mike Dildine on 1/25/2022 & rated 93 points: Baby killing here, but this is deep, rich, balanced and loaded with tasty red and blue fruit. Will only get better. (3049 views) | | | Tasted by dadsdrinkwinetoo on 11/7/2021: Wow! Massive structure with high acidity. There are generous blue and black fruits, black pepper, some wild flowers, all framed by the high acid and firm tannins. This wine was still huge on day 3. As time went on more nuance came out - orange zest, sweet tobacco, a hint of clove, some little spice. This will age for a long time, but I'm happy I opened a bottle now. (2695 views) | | | Tasted by Dale M on 7/18/2021 & rated 94 points: Decanted 3 hrs. I know I know, you can’t open a Lorenzo for 30 years from the vintage date (loved the podcast on this vineyard) but this 19 version to me, says otherwise. Yes, I almost choked on the first sip, so full of power and muscle, perhaps a tad premature to have been opened. Thankfully, I just needed some food in the pie hole, and voila! an amazing young Lorenzo is in the house. Gorgeous dark plums wrapped some high quality cigar tobacco – spicy, rich, savory, sweet…. All the boxes are checked here. Yes, some pretty big tannins are there but there is enough front end material to make this all work in harmony. If you bought the 19 Lorenzo, you are in for a major treat. (3311 views) | | | Tasted by Kcornett on 6/12/2021 & rated 93 points: Really enjoyed this bottle. Balanced tannins and acidity. Good depth.

2019 Lorenzo's Heritage Wine, Dry Creek Valley
From the beautiful old vines at John and Caterina Teldeschi’s ranch in the heart of Dry Creek’s famed East Bench, the 2019 Lorenzo’s is one of the best iterations we have made of this wine (a wine we have made since the original 2007 vintage). Over the years we have taken on a couple additional blocks at the ranch, including the excellent “winery” block located right behind the F. Teldeschi winery. This block adds voluptuously fruited and aromatic Zinfandel, which plays beautifully with the more structured fruit located at the home ranch and makes the wine a bit friendlier in its youth. As usual, this wine is about 65% Zinfandel with the balance being Carignan from a block planted on gravel and some of the oldest Petite Sirah we work with, also located on the home ranch. $42
Podcast minute mark: 55:50Red Blend.USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sonoma CountyMendocino CountyDry Creek Valley Winegrowers of Dry Creek Valley | Dry Creek Valley Association | Appellation America | San Francisco Chronicle Article |
