Drinking very well right now. Popped and poured. Wonderful bright red fruit and baking spices on the nose. Red fruit carried through to the palate, where earthiness and subtle vanilla notes rounded it out. Medium-bodied Zin, well balanced with supple tannins. Not jammy, nor sweet (sometimes a problem with Cali Zins). Sad we don't have any more of this wine left.
89/90

Very tight, lots of tannins. Softened after about an hour then nice fruit. Probably better in a couple of years.
