Nose of black berries, sap, gobs of wood, and Eau de Draper. Very juicy medium+ body, chewy mouth-coating tannin with fairly pronounced wood tannin, medium acidity. On the palate, blackberry, oak; tart; long drying finish. Nice, fruit-forward (if somewhat oaky) zin.

Jimsomare Vertical at The White House (The White House, Anaheim, CA): Soft nose showing bright berries and wood. Juicy with mouth coating tart acidity. Good balance but seeming to lack the fruit concentration of some of the others. Drinks well today and probably not one for extended aging.

Dark, round, creamy, zingy, with a surprising amount of sweet oak. Very much alive.

Beautiful wine, fully mature & drinking nicely. Forward fruit, nice complexity, perfectly balanced.
