Today we share the beautiful wines of BACA. BACA Wines focuses on high quality Zinfandel wines, soured from some of California’s most esteemed Zinfandel sites including some locations planted in the 1920s. The range of Zinfandel is really fun to taste, as the lineup reveals serious range from more restrained, acid-driven styles to rich and jammier renditions. All of the wines are splendid and beautifully showcase the terroir and climate that they are sourced from.
I love the new 2024 BACA ‘Tug O’ War’ Zinfandel (OB, 93) which is a dense and chewy wine with serious richness. Learn more about this great project at bacawines.com and here are my reviews of the new BACA wines.
