Very nice blend, made primary from Zinfandel with Merlot, Cabernet and Syrah. Typical Napa character/style: rich, warm and full body. Taste of cherry, black berry and a little plum, hint of oak and spice, nice full and smooth finish. Best time to drink is after 5-7 years.

Same as before. Very good with beef with szechuan pepper, because the jammy fruit is a good contradiction to the very special taste of the szechuan pepper. I think most other wines would have had problems here to make a "statement".

Very nice jammy fruit with obvious zinfandel notes. Texture is good, tannins could be a bit stronger. Nice "fruit basket", could use a bit more structure. QPR is ok.
