More field blend than straight-up zin, this vintage has lost its pop. Still getting notes of plum, black and red fruit, white pepper on the nose; but palate lacks distinction. Medium finish. Drink up!

Purple (petite syrah really comes through) and red fruit, oak on the nose; red fruit, white pepper and oak on the palate. Good structure - round, medium bodied - and satisfying finish. Food friendly.

Aerated. Nice structure and balance. Not overly fruity. Went very well with Spanish cheese and other appetizers. As others have noted, does not drink so much like a zin but I'm not a huge zin fan so that's good.

A terrific Zin in the nature of a field blend by Mic Unti and his crew!

Much more balanced than the last bottle. Pepper and red fruit on the palate. Food friendly and pleasant.

14.2%, very parfumed, elegant and not so zin-like, good structure. +++

Less zin-like than earlier vintages that I remember. Acidic, a bit out of balance. Better with food.

Always a reliably refined, elegant, and structured Zin with bright and dark berry flavors that blend well with the touch of oak and tannin. Delicious.
