Well balanced medium bodied Zin that really needs a great meal to go with it to bring it all together. The nose is a bit flat, but the finish gently builds and lingers. Ready to drink now and don't expect it to improve.

Wow. Peaked. Just a great example of a California zin. These guys have been making great zins for decades, having been in Sonoma since 1895. Jammy, subtle fruitiness, a bit of a bite from the tannins. Highly recommend.

Quite lovely right now with well aged fruit, nice light nose and just the right acidity. It is nearing the end of the drinking window. It will hold out until 2023, but no need to wait. Drink now.

Agreed with SPRAP1951’s review. Tight at opening, but even just 30 minutes made a huge difference. Ripe berries, oak, cedar, a little minerality, but mostly a nice, jammy Zin. Wonderful.

Cellared several bottles of this for number of years. Drinking well, likely at its peak - which says my 2011 bottles need attention as well…
