2001 Coturri Chauvet Vineyard Zin TN's?

KC, that is exactly what sloppy winemakers do. They pick out the one or two barrels that are alive, and technically drinkable, and they serve that to the so-called arbiters of taste.

This is why I am a fan of random samples when a wine is on the market against notes from barrel samples that were written before the wine was bottled.

Based on that glowing Parker review he must have had the one or two drinkable liters of this so-called organic wine. While I am at it, that glowing Parker review also proves to me the man has quite a skewed outlook on wine...

To Pablo, or whoever you are:
To produce wine "organically" does not mean to produce it poorly. And while volatile acidity is indeed an organic process--it will happen on its own--the idea behind winemaking is to prevent it from happening.

Organic means respect for the land. Also, those who claim to be organic producers need to have respect for the consumer's stomach.
