Subject: Touching the Sky Atop Mt. Veeder: 93pt Sky Vineyards Zinfandel Mount Veeder 2014

93JG -"On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and beautifully balanced, with a fine core of fruit, a firm chassis of chewy tannin, good mineral drive and a long, complex and gently peppery finish. This is going to be an excellent wine when it is ready to drink, but in proper Sky tradition, it will need a good decade to really start to stretch its wings."
Touching the Sky Atop Mt. Veeder: Classical Zinfandel
"The 2014 vintage of zinfandel from Lore Olds at Sky Vineyards is his forty-first harvest, as he purchased his parcel of volcanic red soil up above Mayacamas Vineyards on Mount Veeder all the way back in 1973, after having worked at Beaulieu Vineyards and Mayacamas. The wine comes in at an even fourteen percent and offers up an excellent, brambly young nose of raspberries, spiced meats, a bit of pepper, cloves, a touch of cumin, stony soil tones, bonfire and a bit of cedary oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and beautifully balanced, with a fine core of fruit, a firm chassis of chewy tannin, good mineral drive and a long, complex and gently peppery finish. This is going to be an excellent wine when it is ready to drink, but in proper Sky tradition, it will need a good decade to really start to stretch its wings. Stylistically, this is as old school as old school gets!"
