Stuhlmuller Vineyards is a small family winery located just past Healdsburg in Sonoma County. The winemaker is non-other then Leo Hensen, some of you may remember we featured Leo and his own label Leo Steen in the podcast entitled “the wines of a great Dane”.

You and I have similar tastes. I love the exact Zins that you describe as your favorites. Enjoyed the speed taste and love the video lenght. Great work. IMO you didn't offend Rednecks or White Zin enough! LOL How would this compare to my all time trusty Zin buddy Seghesio?
I am a big fan of Seghesio's wines especially like their Italian style wines like the Arneis, Fiano, Aglianico and Sangiovese. As far as the zin's go I think I prefer this Stuhmuller Estate Zin, it is just so damn complex and balanced.
Thanks for the support and keep wine'ing!

Hey Chris… completely agree with you on the Zin/Pinot comparison. Everyone talks about how delicate and fragile the pinot grape is and how tough it is to make a solid Pinot Noir… I think the same is true for Zinfandel. 90% of those out there are jammy, in-your-face, alcohol bombs…. with very few that are balanced and to my liking. Personally, I'm searching for the Neve Campbell of Zinfandels… but hey, that's just me.
Neil… The Neve Campbell of Zins huh?! I think I could go for that too. Thanks for the comment and let's keep searching. Let me know what you find.
Cheers!
