  Lots of pepper on the finish. Classic Lodi Zin. Needs about two hours to really open. Long legs and sustained finish.

  Liquid raisins. Not much tannin left and no acidity to be found. At least I didn't notice the 15.9% alcohol until I looked at the bottle.

  Disagree with drinking window- opened tonight with a filet- excellent choice. Big bold Zin - good tannins, tobacco, long smooth finish. Still have 5 bottles- need to savor them!

  I am making these notes a few days after drinking the wine so here is what I recall. Nice deep color, very nice bold "zinny" nose of leather and tobacco. Beautifully balanced on the palate with still a decent finish for a 7+ year old zin. It has held up well. It would have been fun to let it go a couple more years and try it but alas, it was my last bottle of '05. I'm a fan of this winery for sure.
