  Such elegant zin. strawberry, raspberry compote, subtle herbs. medium bodied with decent presence of tannins and mouthwatering acidity. I would always recommend these zin to my pinot only friends.

  Pours lighter than any zin I've had. On the nose I get black and red plums, mixed berries and bramble. Very elegant on the palate, with some bramble. Great acid and seems like it could age well. If you needed to serve a zin with a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, this is the one I would reach for.

  Racy, spicy, intense floral bouquet, light on its feet. Concentrated red fruit but no jamminess, almost like a pinot in color and body. I really enjoyed the acidity. When old vine zins are made in this way they let the terroir shine instead of being all about the fruit. Really like this one, and even though we drank on its own this would be quite food friendly.

  Nice fruit but just a touch sweet for my taste. Still quite enjoyable.

  Incredibly beautiful and elegant wine. Previous tasting notes hit all the key points. Drank my only bottle of 2018 tonight, but wow did it reward us with just a great wine.
