Completely lives up to its reviews and ratings. Can't say that about many wines. This is what superb Zin used to taste like 20 years ago, the spice, the mouth-filling red fruit. Best bottle of wine we have had so far in 2016 and it is DRINK NOW status...we let it breathe a tad but did not see the need to decant and that was definitely the case. Highly recommend.

Opened for a delicious Italian feast of pasta w pesto, hot sausage and meatballs. What a perfect compliment of spice, wood and character. Smooth, almost sweet silky tannins and ripe rich black fruits. Waiting on the 2012 for a bit.
