Tasted in tandem with its more elevated Howell Mountain sibling. We liked the vaporous, heady aromatic aroma combined with concentrated fruit. Althogether a softer more approachable wine, but nonetheless interesting, for a less sophisticated occasion.

Steve, Amy and Wendy really liked this as an accompaniment to my cumin-rubbed grill lamb. Remarkably firm tannins that almost dominate the characteristic briary zin fruit. A good pairing.

Has held up longer than expected for a zin. Suprisingly still has a good amount of life left.

Smelled and tasted of mold. Very disappointing. Returned to vendor for a replacement bottle.
