Seems a little fatty on the tongue to me. Burst of fruit, middle fades and then a bit of a bitter finish. Bright yes..

Dark purple and very full bodied. Complex fruit that is very jammy without being sweet. Great balance of dryness, soft tannins, and alcohol that results in a superb wine

Open That Bottle Night wine #7/7.
Great way to close the evening. Full of fruit, lovely tannins and acids, long supple finish.
With Point Reyes Toma cheese.

After nearly 4 years of cellaring this wine has come together nicely. There is better integration of fruit, more depth and less sweetness of its youth. Its a Zin, Cab Franc and Syrah blend that just needed time become a very good wine.

This wine needed time to develop. Strong berry and tobacco notes, a softer herby note, with silky smooth tannins. Tasted this next to a $25 napa cab and it made that wine tough to drink. Sad this is my last bottle of this wine

I had my first of four bottles. Disappointing in general and especially in consideration of the previous reviews.There is a unsettled quality that I associate with it being "hot", obvious alcohol coming thru. Hope it is an anomaly.

In a sweet spot. Purse while making dinner and this was delicious by the time I got it to it 20-30 later.

The heat has dissipated and the fruit is still strong and delicious. I only wish I’d been more patient with the rest.

The first bottle I tried in 2017 was too young for me and I didn’t even finish my glass. It was extremely tannic like I had eaten a persimmon! However, it’s structure completely changed as it aged to a totally different wine. The second bottle I tried in 2021 was excellent like I am use to from the top cab producers in Napa. I would buy again.

I gave this an hour decant because it’s been so big every time I’ve had it. Much more tame, tannins are not overpowering, and blending in nicely now for a medium finish.

Opened the first of 6 I purchased 3/19. After a short decant of 1/3 bottle, I was very disappointed. Did not taste or smell like I was expecting. Didn't even seem like there was much hope. But on the second night after being vacuumed and recorked it was tremendously transformed. Starting to show some of the expected character of a quality Napa cab.

I think this wine needs at least a couple more years before I will open anther. Just a heads up for anyone else who is thinking about poping a cork.

Decanted for 2 hours. Super smooth tannins with rich berry notes up front. Soft tobacco and herb notes on the finish with alcohol in check. Glad I held this for a few years

Third bottle out of a half case I purchased in 2019. This is coming along but still needs another year or two to round out. Lovely black, juicy fruit with acidity to brace and some damp earth notes. This will probably be a 93 or 94 when it's fully ready, but this bottle still has some forward tannins that need to mellow. Good potential for the price.

Aired for 5 hours at room temperature - I don't ordinarily plan that far, but it paid off! Excellent, drinking wine. Sweet fruit flavor at start with metallic finish. Lots of pleasant character! I'd purchase more, if I could find it.

One if the best Zinfandels I've had. An Aaron Pott masterpiece. Fruit and spice on the nose. Fruit forward, light not overpowering. Tannins are mild, but present. This is my first of several bottles, so I'm excited to see how it develops over the next couple of years. Drink it if you can find it! Only 350 cases were made.

Nice floral aromas from the glass. The tannins are smooth and rounded offering some grip and structure around a core of dark fruit. This has great acidity that is boht wet and juicy around the tongue. There's flavors of blackberry and cassis with a hint of dark chocolate on the medium++ finish - a surprising long finish - leaving you wanting more. Midweek, or, on the weekend, this is a PnP wine with a great QPR worth trying.

Better than two years ago.
The tannins are still noticeable, but are not so center stage. And the fruit is still wonderful.
One bottle left, will try again (maybe!) in 2023.
