Dark cherry red at core, translucent as it moves to the rim. Bright cherry aromas. Soft fruit, black cherries, blackberries. Quite lovely. Fine tannins, great acidity and balance. Finishes long and spicy. gains weight with air. Lovely. Perhaps a bit on the downside but still a lot of years ahead of it. Drink next 4 to 5 years.

Bright red color. Violets, lavender, plums on the nose. Plush on the palate, red-fruited, raspberry, plums. Smooth tannins, beautiful acidity, fine balance. Finishes long, bright, rich with bramble fruits. Throwing a heavy sediment. Gorgeous Zin. Mike's appellation wines are a fantastic bargain and this one has held up beautifully. It did fade noticeably on the second day. Drink next 3 years.

No much movement over the last seven or eight years. Holding up beautiful. There's a hit more on the saddle note but that could have been because of cork issue, had a leaker. My last bottle.

PnP. No detailed notes. My previous note must have been a bad bottle. This one was very good.
