Found Teldeschi

What a nice surprise! Lori and Marc found a bottle of 1993 Teldeschi zinfandel on the menu at the Blue Room in Cambridge last week. Considering that it is 14 years old, it was a pretty sturdy zinfandel that went well with the mushroom pasta and shrimp and chorizo we ate. Having lost the fruit it presumably had early on, the wine has matured to a nice mellow spot, earthy and rich. We'd be pretty pleased if our zin tasted like this after 14 years (2021!). For an interesting overview of the Teldeschi vineyards, check out its history here. Although a bit unclear, it seems Teldeschi itself is no longer bottling under its own name, but Ravenswood continues to make a single-vineyard Teldeschi zin. Keep an eye out for older Teldeschi or newer Ravenswood Teldeschi vineyard wines in restaurants or wine stores and let us know how they are holding up.
