November 2, 2014 - Consistant with previous bottle. A Good Zin but restrained, mostly tart fruits, wood and a gripping tannin bite mid palate.

December 1, 2013 - A very restrained Zin, flat in some regards. Garnet in the glass, neutral nose, notes of black fruit, anise, tight tannins and wood.

January 11, 2013 - Easy drinking zin. Fruit cake on the nose and candied fruit on the tongue. Medium bodied with sweet fruit mid palate and a dry finish to keep it serious enough to round out the wine. Tastes linger nicely. Not hedonistic but definitely looking for a good time.

December 20, 2012 - Really enjoy this zin, tasted twice with consistent impressions. Dark very ripe fruit with very noticeable white pepper nuances. This is a very well oaked zin, so consider that if you are not a fan of that style.
