April 26, 2024 - An always reliable and old school Zin. Still a tad young, so AIR, no popnpour.
March 30, 2024 - Nice nose, Red and Black fruit. Long finish. Excellent QPR for weeknight easy drinker.
March 14, 2024 - Wine is showing very well. Significantly more open than 2019 Heritage wines. Raspberry and blackberry dominate, but there is a streak of slightly underripe blueberry that I really enjoy. Grippy tannins and nice acidity, but light on its feet. As always, an outstanding value.
February 25, 2024 - Still fruit forward with a nice backbone. An excellent sipper or pairing with a meal.
February 21, 2024 - Brilliant red color with slight fading at the rim. Fragrant nose of raspberries. Juicy and delightful on the palate, raspberry, blackberry. Refined tannins, nice acidity and balance. Finishes moderately long and bright with red fruits. Classic old school Zin. Not profound, but a delight to drink.
January 12, 2024 - What a difference a year makes in this wine. I finally like it and happy I have 5 more in the cellar. Drink up!
December 16, 2023 - Very nice wine that pushes the limit of lush and vanilla oaky without being sweet or over the top. None of the harshness I usually find in Zin but plenty of blue/black fruit with bramble notes. Will buy more

November 18, 2023 - Excellent QPR. Always solid. Pairs nicely with Naples style pizza.
November 10, 2023 - This wine starts out at first taste very pleasant and promising. It seemed to lose flavor and became overly dry not so great.
October 21, 2023 - Always a winner at the price point. Remarkably complex, balanced, ageworthy stuff. Rich, fruity Zinfandel character without too much over- or under-ripe influence, and a nice savory backbone.
