3/1/2016 - xedr wrote: 82 pointsThis wine was superb when released, but now it's past its prime. What used to be a complex, balanced whole has become disjointed, with tartness on the attack, tannins dancing in the middle, and a flash of complexity on the finish, buoyed by a pleasant warmth from the alcohol. When paired with salsa, BBQ, or Italian, it regains much of its previous balance. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

8/14/2015 - davewr Likes this wine: 88 pointsWhile this is still a good Zin, i believe it may be past its prime or may need a couple more years. I've drunk 1 bottle previously and thoroughly enjoyed. This one felt tight with lots of pepper and spice. Little fruit but more earthy. It's a big Zin and not for the faint of heart. |

6/22/2015 - Red White Likes this wine: 92 pointsStarts out a little soft on the palate -- give this wine some time to blossom into a thing of beauty. Lovely floral notes with a great dark plum backdrop balanced with bright acidity. Good for another 3+ years |

5/27/2015 - Dhotchki Does not like this wine: 87 pointsFirst time tasting this grape. Nice minerality and floral notes up front but then was flat at the end. Improved with warming (had been 55 degrees at start) but never really had the complex notes of a nice acidic white that I expected. |
