Community Tasting Notes (average 90.5 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 734 notes) | |
| Tasted by BigTarheel on 2/8/2010 & rated 88 points: Nice and ripe with quite a bit of vanillin oak but clearly way over-rated by WS. (491 views) | |
| Tasted by bmarshall on 2/8/2010 & rated 92 points: This is my highest rating for this wine after several bottles... maybe just the occasion? Went perfectly with Superbowl fare... (578 views) | |
| Tasted by bowempe on 2/7/2010 & rated 93 points: Well balanced zin that is complex, affordable and great with a steak. (691 views) | |
| Tasted by Texas Jerky on 2/7/2010 & rated 92 points: (266 views) | |
| Tasted by geppetto on 2/6/2010 & rated 93 points: Decanted for about an hour and paired with a tenderloin. This was showing really well and paired nicely with the steak. (829 views) | |
| Tasted by pkbackman on 2/6/2010 & rated 90 points: (510 views) | |
| Tasted by JazzQueen on 2/2/2010 & rated 86 points: I think this wine is way overrated. The Klinker Brick is much better for less $$. Nothing outrageous or noteworthy. (1774 views) | |
| Tasted by az_gblair on 1/31/2010 & rated 87 points: (920 views) | |
| Tasted by vinoceros on 1/30/2010 & rated 90 points: Very good (as previously noted) but either nearing the end of it's life, or just overshadowed by the bigger wines we drank earlier in the night. (1563 views) | |
| Tasted by rralls on 1/30/2010 & rated 91 points: 91+ (1446 views) | |
| Tasted by lumpkins on 1/30/2010 & rated 91 points: (848 views) | |
| Tasted by sterin on 1/30/2010 & rated 93 points: After a 3.5 hour decant this wine was drinking very well. Jammy fruit on the nose with sage and black pepper on the palate. What a value. (1431 views) | |
| Tasted by nsicilia on 1/27/2010 & rated 91 points: (1429 views) | |
| Tasted by jrglm on 1/24/2010 & rated 87 points: Big Zin. Fairly typical of what I'd expect. High alcohol, lots of fruit and not much character. Didn't do this any favors drinking it the same night as Barbarescos. (1880 views) | |
| Tasted by Lessthanzero on 1/23/2010 & rated 92 points: just nice. See my other notes. (2353 views) | |
| Tasted by bmarshall on 1/22/2010 & rated 88 points: Well made wine for sure, but fairly simple. Big fruit bomb on the nose and palate. Red fruits and sweet vanilla extract. Nice lingering finish. A crowd pleaser for sure, but not all that elegant and not my style. (2012 views) | |
| Tasted by NiklasW on 1/22/2010 & rated 87 points: Ok, time to find out what a good zin is like. My only experience previously was a disaster. This was bought for me by a friend in New York. Decanted for an hour. The nose is not exploding as I expected, but does show lots of sweet blackberry and toasted oak, the palate is quite agreeable in fact, although the oak is a bit too intrusive. I can see how this would go down well at a party with people who appreciate red wine. This reminds me of some of the better made, but New World styled Languedoc wines I have tried. Nice to try this, but I won't be asking for more. 50+4+10+15+8=87 (2222 views) | |
| Tasted by hanism on 1/21/2010 & rated 92 points: Very very good. Well rounded, mellow. Yum. (2190 views) | |
| Tasted by acintheoc on 1/20/2010 & rated 90 points: Blueberry fruit upfront with a nice balanced finish. (2427 views) | |
| Tasted by vanpe003 on 1/18/2010 & rated 92 points: On the nose, blueberry and bramble. Dark blue fruits with hints of bramble reminds me a bit of MPG Iris Bleu Gris. Initially quite hot on the palate, this blows off after an hour open and becomes quite well balanced with a medium long finish. Very nice for the price. Not sure which way this is going over time. Update: a better wine in all regards, but notably much richer on the palate, more rounded and greater depth on Day 2. Plus 1 pt. (2473 views) | |

| Tasted by Pour Boy on 1/18/2010 & rated 92 points: Rock solid, as always. (2373 views) | |

California Wines (Wine Institute of California) California is one of the most diverse wine regions in the world, with almost 100 grape varieties grown in almost 10 viticultural areas, including dozens of different microclimates and soil types, as well as a very individualistic set of winemakers, many with international experience, which adds to and deepens that diversity.
