2022 Droll
Long ago, a “Droll” was a jester or entertainer. Today, to be “Droll” is to be amusing in a surprising or unexpected way. That description fits this expectation-defying Zin perfectly! (And no, the word “Droll” has no relationship to the word “drool.” Be warned, though. You may find yourself drooling over this Droll!)

"A really nice Zin from the Columbia Valley, the 2022 ‘Droll’ offers a smooth mouthfeel on the approach. Bright blackberry and black cherry flavors mingle well with herbal accents and shades of chocolate on the palate. Drink 2025-2031"
