An excellent zin, had several bottles over 2-3 years with consistent results. Medium-bodied, loads of red fruit, berry flavors, nicely layered but not jammy. Drank the last bottle in 2009, which still showed lots of very nice fruit after 8 years along with the aging.

Balanced, good fruit and spice. Had 1/2 and then kept in the fridge for a week. Originally excellent but fell apart over the week.

Nose - dill, plums, varnish, cedar
Flavors - vanilla, plums, bramble, and milk chocolate
Structure - alcoholic, tangy acidity, long finish
History - valley floor fruit, 60 year old vines, yield < 2 tons/acre
Overall - tastes slightly oxidized but does have good fruit and added complexity created by VA
