  This had gotten better year by year. The first night the petite sirah and mourvedre were dominant, but with air and time the zin showed itself. For the price and ageability, this is a real bargain.

  This is a tremendous Zinfandel, particularly for a Zinfandel priced in the teens. Very well-balanced with the good complexity of flavors. When I taste this wine I get Oak, Cedar, even some graphite. Berries of course are strong. Slightly muddled, but not jammy. Also some unripe fruit.

  I love to drink a Phantom after not having one for about a month. I immediately start comparing the "pleasure per dollar" found in this bottle to the ones I had over the previous weeks. Not surprisingly, this little bottle wins almost every time! It leans more towards the "Zin fruit bomb" profile in it's youth, but it also ages quite well. I have had several Phantoms >10 years old that were remarkably complex and became more balanced with the bottle age. Pretty impressive for a sub-$20 bottle!
