  9/25/2013 - christyler Does not like this wine:

  The alcohol was in check and there was decent balance, but this was just a little too grapey and port-like to be enjoyable. Over the hill?

  A very slight rim of bricking. The rest of the wine to the core is magenta. It has a blueberry funkiness along with the usual Zin funk. Although the wine’s nose acts tight at first giving up very little, eventually, I decide it is simply uninteresting. The flavors follow the nose, but add plum and brown sugar notes. Other than the attack, the wine expresses very little. Ok, for a 15% alc. wine, it is balanced. In fact, the mouthfeel is downright silky smooth, but the finish is bland, linear and without length or depth. A fair dose of sediment shadows most of the shoulder and it throws some slight grains. A blend of 88% Zin, 9% Alicante Bouschet and finished with 3% Petite Sirah. With chicken wings (flavors of old bay as well as mango and pistachio). Recommended with reservations. That the Saints lost to the 49ers in the last 9 seconds of the game didn’t help.

  Boudacious nose! Holding up very well. Agree with the 'baked plum' comment. Glad we have another one.

  Bright tangy cran-blueberry cocktail. No "cigar box" or raisin or port flavors. 15% alcohol very well integrated- no "heat" on the palate. A pleasure. Wish I had more.
