  May 11, 2024 - This will be a go-to sub $20 bottle. Not sure I’ve had a better one. Dark plumb, berry, spice, doesn’t taste manipulated. Had a very short decant period. Would like to try after a longer decant. Everyone enjoyed it.

  May 1, 2024 - Zin isn't my favorite grape ("jammy" wines are rarely what I look for), but this was very solid. Reminded me a bit of my favorite inexpensive Zins, Ridge Three Valleys and Bedrock Old Vine.
  
  This really keeps the jammy quality in check, to the extent that my first blind guess was a $30-ish Cab Sauv from Washington (!)- really pretty dark blueberry, maybe often closer to blackcurrant, with a gentle dose of baking spice oak and little floral shades. Not ultra-expressive, but very pretty. Same on the palate, with really nice balance, not too hot or jammy at all. Pretty straightforward, but this is added to my list of better-quality Zin.

  March 8, 2024 - Clear medium ruby; clean medium plus nose of raspberry, blueberry, vanilla and musty wood; dry; medium plus acidity; medium tannins; medium plus alcohol; medium plus body; medium plus flavour intensity; palate is tarter with addition of cocoa; medium plus finish; drink now: fruit forward with well balanced alcohol; this wine continues to pleasantly surprise us in blind tastings - excellent QPR!

  February 18, 2024 - Reliably good Zin that doesn't go over the top; same basic story in this vintage.
