  The wine was crimson colored. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like petrol, ethanol, alcohol/hot and medicinal. The body is medium/full. The wine had an oily texture. The wine finishes long yet had only medium acidity. Decanted for 4 hours after opening sips, still out of balance. But... the next day it was amazingly drinkable. rate 85 1st day / 89 the 2nd day. Such a huge wine on release, my hope was the fruit and alcohol would remain in balance with age. Can't honestly say they did.

  I think more wineries should try a zin mix like this. The syrah and mouvedre have tempered the over-the-top fruit so many zins have. A little too much alcohol heat for my taste, but it was fabulous with our BBQ brisket.

  Previously drank 5 years ago. Has evolved well. A middleweight Zin(predominantly) with good fruit, and not over extracted . Delicious!

  Drank the same night as an 06 rising tides and this was the winner after a few hours of being open. Needs time to open up but once it does it has great balance an acidity with very solid structure still for an 06. Would have to say drink now, very enjoyable, with or without food.
