  Tasted with: 2018 Biale , 2015 Bedrock and a Turley that was damaged so will remain nameless.
  The difference between Napa and Sonoma was fascinating made for a fun and delicious tasting
  Color:deep purple with a fuller body
  Nose: dark fruit, bell pepper that faded as the wine sat in the glass, light oak/ vanilla
  Palate: blackberry, stone fruit, initially with some nutmeg
  Lovely finish, wine got better and better with glass time
  Reminded me of the Ravenswood old vine zin of the 90’s

  Nice juicy zin. Not too hot, but maybe a little too austere.

  Beautifully integrated - polish of oak, ripe fruits, lush mouthfeel, sueded tannins, long finish. This wine has always had a powerful elegance, but the power of the fruit and alcohol has settled in wonderfully. I can't imagine it getting better than now, though so far it has nary a sign of maturity.

  All around solid wine. Perfectly aged zin. Wish I had more. For those that don’t age quality zin, give it a chance and you will be rewarded.
