Medium brick red color, moving back from the rim showing the lack of concentration in the vintage. Drink up. Light nose of pretty, dark red fruits, raspberry and dark blue fruits notably plume. More integrated deeper .nose after four hours open but retains freshness. Medium mouth feel and still a sensation of plumminess. Taste adds spice and a hot alcohol note on the backend even though the abv is only 14.4. Nice dusty note on the short finish. Typical Dry Creek zin.

Dark ruby red, with a distinctive and pleasant perfumed nose of overripe peaches dominating dark raspberry. Medium body, pleasantly focused, and juicy on the finish.

The lighter but complex nose made way to brighter red fruit in the mouth. The flavors were slightly tart but still ripe with strawberry notes and an orange hint. There was some tobacco as well as freshness from a little menthol. With air a lipstick component came out.

Dark violet body with aromas of black pepper, dark and red fruits and floral hits. Good balance with medium + acidity. Medium finish.
