Big fruit and alcohol right off the bat. A little air settles things down, but then there's not much to this. Reminds me of a big Lodi zin that's sat out too long and gotten dusty. Still, a decent picnic wine.

Pulled this looking for something better than a Tuesday night bottle; success. Now drinking like an aging cab, only lacking the leather I'd have hoped for. Fruit is still there, but subdued as expected, well balanced and integrated with tannins. Some sediment, decanted. Looking to coming back to this in a few years.

Wine is in good shape. Warm fruit, leather. Enough acid to get by.

Better than I anticipated. Still has some backbone in it and was interesting to drink.

Was ok but flavors did not meld, leaving you wanting more definition.
