Much better than I expected! Dense, dark fruits, smooth and velvety mouth feel. Little smoke or wood, but absolutely delectable. The bottle was open for a few hours, and by the time we got to the end of it, it had lost some pizzazz. A wonderful effort from Dry Creek

Smells exactly right - deep black fruits, with a nice peppery backbone. Flavor profile exactly the same - blackberries, but not jammy. Nice balance between fruit forward while still having depth. My only complaint was that it seemed a bit watered down, particularly when it was cool. As it warmed up from cellar temperature, that improved, but it still seemed just not quite as intense as the nose implied. Still a good wine.

Quite good in an understated way. Not as splashy as Mazzocco or Mauritson DCV Zins I've had, but also didn't seem to warrant the low ratings others have given it-

Not bad juice! Actually, very good, a lot of stone fruit (plum) but more subtle than the original zin fruit bombs we used to drink
