PNP, fresh crush grapes in the nose, rich & concentrated on the palate, with plenty welch's grape juice and blackberries. Sweet long smooth finish, not very complex even for a zin but plenty of what it does have!

This bottle was a bit harsh and disjointed at this stage. On day 2 the 2nd half of the bottle was softer and more approachable. With plenty of spicy plum, black cherry, hints of toffee, vanilla and earthy tannins.

Nose of pepper and dark fruit. Very traditional with hints of earth. The elegance of the fruit explosion is unreal! Jam in a bottle yet enough tannin and acid to make it a superb Zin. Long lasting!

Restoring my faith in Dry Creek Zins. Blackberry, a bit of chocolate, and was that a little tobacco?

Outstanding zin with high pepper notes and boisenberry. For the price I would definitely stock a few bottles to pair with brisket.

Fruit and oak are nicely balanced with a lingering spice finish. Drinks more expensive than cost. Good QPR

Had with dark chocolate after dinner and it was pleasant. Not a big cab

Pretty good Zin needs some air before drinking would be good in cellar a few years. Nice nose. Nice price.

Big, rich, jammy, but not overdone. Blackberries, black cherries, dark plums, cloves, cinnamon and vanilla. Nice old style dry creek zin.
