Robust concentrated yet not so much as to be a put off. Sure its dark as treacle with a nose that says I'm BIG, but this drinks with finesse and elegance suitable to a hearty main course wine. Probably best to drink sooner than later.

Stopped by the winery for a quick taste. Just jotted a couple of words on a yellow sticky note for each wine tasted. The day was cold and the wines were served cold, probably around 55F or so. I will say upfront that they are not my style. This one had a peppery taste, seemed tight with a thin finish. Did not buy any wines.

Wine of the evening! Drank with Preston an Dana, and this buried the other wines tasted (even the 2002 Pride). Perfect mix of fruit in the front. Long balanced finish with just a hint of Sage at the end. I must get more!

Not much left with this Zin. Unfortunately, I think it is well past it's prime.

Facenating smell. Interesting spices (Cloves?). Over ripe fruit.

Delicious, rich, mixed berry fruit with peppery, raisiny flavors, full-bodied, terrific wine

Good but nothing exceptional - very one dimensional fruit with alcoholic finish.

Heavy fruit forward with extremely high alcohol content. Peppery finish, and matched quite well with Chinese food. An excellent wine.
