Happy 79th birthday, John. I hope we can be together next year for your 80th. Simply delicious - loaded with fruit, fine, integrated tannins and beautiful acid level. Long, well banced finish.

This wine has been in our cellar since we acquired it at the winery. Since that time it has rested in our wine cellar and aged graceful. When we opened it the wine was perfect. We could not have expected anything more. Starts with some red fruit followed by cinnamon, coco powder, tobacco, and cedar wood. Perfect complement to grilled lamb.

Red and black fruit with cocoa and pepper spice. The secondary and tertiary aromas have taken over. The fruit is there, but subdued. It’s good, but drink now or soon. I don’t see it getting better.

Wow! Solid & delicious Zin we enjoyed w/chili. One of those bottles that you hated to see end.
