Beautiful nose, with a little young port character, both in fruit and alcohol feel. Enjoyed over several days with no deterioration of bouget or flavors.

Killer bottle of zin. Dark cherry, raspberry and baking spice on the nose. Silky smooth on the palate with cherry and raspberry flavors that are well supported with a nice touch of acidity. This is damn delicious wine. Wish I had more.

While Iam not sure I cna agree witht he Pop and Pour aspect mentioned below, the wine did show a great nose on opening, but I felt it was a little tight. However within 30-45 minutes of being open the fruit ( blueberries, dark rich strawberry), the balance and the complexity all showed very well yielding a wonderfully integrated wine. JFK felt it showed a little too much mineral and syrah like characterisitcs, but I do not agree I felt it was rich and smooth. An outstanding bottle in an outstandign spot right now.

Deep resonant zin profile. Probably will not improve from here.

What a fabulous zin! Popped and poured and it was singing right away. Fruity, balanced, complex, and spicy all at once. Yum.
