Nose: Sweet pipe tobacco and some menthol on the nose, along with some muted ripe cherry and older leather. Beautiful! Palate: ripe cherry/licorice, sweet pipe tobacco, and eucalyptus, such a great mouthfeel. Coats mouth so well, still dry on the finish. Lingers quite a while. Mitch makes terrific wine; wine that stands up to the test of time. 92 pts.

Very drinkable. The bottle possibly reached it's height. Intense ruby color, hints of foilage, green peper, cherry, and tobacco. Still a great wine to go to for a fairly inexpensive zinfandel.

Either we had a bad cork, or this wine is not aging well. I remember it being much more a while ago (at least a year), but this had a definite funk to it. It was still ok, and perfectly drinkable, with some nice berry flavors, but something was just a bit off.

Had this with a mixed grill of mushroom, chicken and andouille, and it was a fabulous pairing. Big and spicy.
