| | Tasted by PlanetX on 8/6/2019 & rated 90 points: Mellowed nicely over the years. Might have a couple more years in it still. (1744 views) |

| | Tasted by walla_wallou on 2/5/2017 & rated 91 points: Nice nose, spicy, black cherries, not too sweet, great length. (3492 views) |
| | Tasted by Delli on 10/8/2016 & rated 92 points: Consistent with the first note - five years ago! Tannins are softer and the wine is more integrated. Community puts the end of drinking window next year but I suspect its got five more years. 5+12+17+8=92 (3009 views) |
| | Tasted by Chapel on 5/15/2015 & rated 91 points: medium berry bodied, smooth and silky. was put at room temp for a day prior to opening (4147 views) |
| | Tasted by aquacongas on 8/11/2014 & rated 90 points: the 2nd best Zin I had after Ridge, vigorous, despite 15.5% alcohol it hasn't a burning taste, marmelade notes, to speak from elegance would be a joke but the tanninstructure shows potential for at 5 years (4164 views) |
| | Tasted by RJ&JJ on 4/30/2013 & rated 92 points: Fabulous bottle of Zin and totally unexpected from a source so well known for its Cabernet. Wish we had more.... a lot more. (5092 views) |
| | Tasted by DataSquid on 10/26/2012: Haven't had many Zinfandels, not fair to rate, but really enjoyed this. It's what I was hoping for: A rich, fruity wine that had a nice structure; quaffable and a medium finish. Would buy again for sure. Kudos to The Keg for getting this on their list. (6002 views) |

| | Tasted by Patches on 6/23/2012: This is a big wine, but not at all jammy. It seems quite classic in character. Really outstanding example of how good Zinfandel can be. (5031 views) |
| | Tasted by lfbaum on 2/12/2012 & rated 92 points: Cranks two bottles. Decanted one for 3 hours. Very smooth and silky. The one that wasn't decanted had stronger cherry on the pallet. Similar finish. (4815 views) |
