This was highly rated, but the 2009 vintage is past its prime. I agree with other reviews in that it has lost the good attributes that got it a high rating.

Well past its prime. Old, musty aroma. Definite brick tint. Has lost almost all its positive attributes. We had a wonderful steak from the bar-b-que but the wine did not complement it. This Zinfadel is still drinkable but I suggested to my slender bride that it wasn't worth the calories... I finished the bottle with no ill effects.

This announces itself with an over-ripe zin nose and a suggestion of cheap ripe attack but immediately backs off to present a stunningly balanced, surprisingly medium-weight, and reasonably complex zin.

A solid Zin. Tasted a little tired and dull. Questionable storage as I picked it up from a grocery store clearance shelf!

Similar to my comments of a year ago. A solid Zin. Nice spiciness. Had with a shrimp stir fry.
