A new vintage - received mine yesterday at the Sattui winery. Surprisingly smooth body - quite pleasing. Color is dark purple, body is moderate, tannin seems controlled. Nice flavor and superb aftertaste. I poured into a decanter and let it breathe for about hour. Very nice - happy I bought a case!

This cab from mountain vineyards in Lake County CA tasted very young with somewhat rough edges upon opening. However, with a couple of hours airing in a decanter it smoothed out nicely and provided a tasty treat for such an inexpensive wine.

Clear tawny brown - aged to its peak this fabulous Zin exhibits spicy aromas and dusty fields. Smooth on the palate with lingering minerals, leather, earth, and white pepper. Finish is long and leaves one wanting more - and more. A real treat!
