I really like how this has matured. Flavorful dark cherry and plum on the palate, with a touch of port-like nutty secondary flavors. Well aged and smooth tannins. This is at the perfect spot in the drinking window (2024).

Let sit in a glass for 1.5 hrs before tasting. Hallmarks of a very nice zin: black pepper, dark fruit, moss. Well balanced. Still in its window. Not quite at the level of the better Turleys, however this is solid and I’m glad I found my last bottle lurking in the cellar.

Dinner tasting with 3 Seghesio 2013's Rockpile, Old Vine, Cortina. Rockpile was excellent with 91 but old Vine with stronger nose and lingering taste and Cortina with smoother balance both got 93s

This was a magnum for Thanksgiving. Bright fruit, but not fruity - excellent balance

Wonderful. Mature fruit with balanced acidity. Drink by 2025.
