Always a reliable wine regardless of vintage. Nothing dramatic or wondrous, just a good table wine. Will always keep a bottle in the cellar. Drank on vacation at Big Bear Lake, during sunset.

Big jammy red fruit zin. Took about an hour to fully open. Mild tannins, no pepper in this zin, but the fruit was delicious. Great wine to just drink-no food necessary.

not for me, this is very fruit forward, hitting the sweet meets chewy, full, large, heavy and concentrated palate, tons of dried fruit and jam, very jammy, I am not into this style but it is well made
