10/5/2018 - Djk41011 Likes this wine: 92 pointsBig fan of the Lavender Hills from Passalacqua and this one doesn't disappoint. There's always a slight florality in these. This vintage has a touch more minerality as well which results in a great balance to the berry flavors. |

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 |

But they sure can make a cab. This is an exception. The probative 2009 and forward (based on barrel tasting last few years) are really really well done. The flavor on this is great. It rivals the 2008 Viti Della Nebia zin from RRV that she made. Really drinking so nicely. Always exciting when a 35 dollar primitivo/zin works in your favor. Loved it. |
