  December 2, 2022 - It’s alive!
  
  Well that was a pleasant surprise. Purchased on a whim from WineBid and this delivered an abundant package of joy. Balanced mature fruit with just the right bit of tertiary to remind you of the vintage year, but also clearly present fruit and mild tannins. So so so good. I’ve yet to find a high quality aged zin from sonoma or napa that has not been somewhere between very good and spectacular.
