December 23, 2013 - One of the best old vine Zinfandel that I have had. Ripe fruit and bold taste with a very long finish. Extremely dark color but with excellent clarity.

November 16, 2013 - Decanted for 1 hour.
Ripe, full bodied, lots of alcohol (15,4%), but balanced, tasty, juicy with round and refined tannins. Easy drinking and delicious. Really good! -

February 14, 2013 - If you are a fan of the Lodi Zins you will not be disappointed. Several of the comments below of the blackberry, leather, earthy taste are there. Great finish after about 45 minutes decant. The nose is dark and peppery. I love several of the Michael David, Klinker Brick, and others from that area, and this is at par. Don't pass this up if you come across.
