Alan Gertler's California wines tasting (at my home): Coravin tasting dark translucent red-purple with dark brown rim excellent intense dark fruits nose with quality spicy notes with dusty-stony hints medium-bodied, soft tannins, excellent balance & harmony, well structure, fine complexity, rich dark spicy fruity flavours, fine herbs, elegant finish & long aftertaste. ready to drink though can age beautifully 3-7 years more, at least.

Delivers so much more that most zins. Although it has the typical bright fruit you'd find in a zin it is cloaked in smoke, earth, some nice spice and a little leather.

This is drinking extremely well. I think this can be enjoyed for another couple of years - still lively.

Spicy and sweet black fruit. Very dark. Smells mountainy and oaky too. Smells like someone has been making allot of cab.
