My last bottle of this vintage. It is quite enjoyable, with dark cherries, and dark chocolate. It is very complex, with tertiary notes of dried fruits. But I would recommend enjoy your bottles of this vintage sooner than later.

Wow, this was a great bottle of this wine! It had plum, black fruits, blackberries, bing cherries, forest floor, spice box, and mellow tannins, plus a medium to long finish. The fruit has not faded and I could not have had a better Zinfandel!

Same experience as my last bottle. The wine has plum, black fruits, blackberries, bing cherries, forest floor, spice box, and mellow tannins, plus a medium to long finish. It is quite delicious.

I was torn about this wine. It has moments where the dark zinny fruit and the American oak and the herbiness all come together, and it’s really good for those flashes - reminds a bit of, well, Jimsomare from 20 years ago. But there are other moments of a distinctly overripe, stewed fruit character, and in those moments the wine feels tired and jammy, sort of like a too-old carignan from France. We gave the bottle air over a whole evening and it never settled for long in either bucket. In any event, this was monstrously tannic for zin and had excellent acidity, not withstanding a very ripe fruit character. Disappointing, but not uninteresting.
