The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blueberry and strawberry. It tastes like blackberry and blueberry. The body is medium. The wine has bright texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity. could use 1-2 decanted

This wine is very light on the nose with just a hint of fruit. However, as soon as it hits your tongue, it bursts with flavor. There is a delightful balance I would describe as medium-dry. Hold it on your tongue as long as possible to enjoy all the flavors available. The finish is nice, long, and enjoyable as well..

Tasted at Country Vintner Mid Atlantic Spring Tasting.
nice spice, sweet blue and black fruit, cotton candy and a soft but not sappy structure. All the richness i want in a Napa Zin/p.sirah blend without being heavy handed. Tasty stuff!

A large portion of petite sirah from Chiles Canyon and also 4% Petite Sirah from Ruther ford as well. Unfortunately they tore this out in '14 to make room for cab. 3% cabernet to straighten out the the wacky Zinfandel tannins. Apparently under a microscope you can see this goofy bunched tannin nature. And that is big Zinfandel.

Very good wine. Perhaps the best zin I’ve ever had. Great fruit forward with tannins to balance. Great Zin flavor without the sweet raisin flavor

Black pepper and smoke aroma. Dark fruit and pepper taste with a nice kick at the finish.

A great bottle of Zin. I heard zero complaints from the group and there was disappointment when they realized it was the only bottle.

Enjoyed with spicy chicken enchiladas. This is a big fruit forward wine with a little spice of its own.

Dark fruit, full mouth, bursting with flavor and balanced. Some acidity and tannin, but I would drink it now. What you would expect of a Zin

A good hotel by-the-glass option, this showed lots of fresh black cherry with a little sweet spice. All in balance with moderate depth.

Too young. I would think it needs four more years before drinking. It was good, but needs more time.
