  This is a blend of 92% Zinfandel with 3% Petite Sirah, and 5% Alicante Bouschet. The color is deeply hued. On the nose, Zin funk, rhubarb and cherry with still a touch of brown sugar, maybe. Some nice herbs and dusty rose A full mid-palate and longer finish of vanilla, coffee and mocha. The mouthfeel is dusty smooth. This is a wine that is hitting its stride in a very pleasant way. Some heavy sediment lines the shoulder of the bottle. 14.3% alc. With country ham in red-eye gravy over polenta (an excellent pairing). Unfortunately, my last bottle. 02.02.23. Recommended.

  Pnp. Beautiful fruity nose. Smooth and balanced. Excellent, bright candy fruit flavor. Not overly complex at first but eventually got some complexity. Beautiful, Flawless bottle.. Drinking great and I don't see how it will improve but it's in no danger of going bad anytime soon

  A blend of 92% Zin and 5% Alicante Bouschet and 3% Petite Sirah. Magenta on the rim and deep burgundy at the core. The nose is dominated by rhubarb, brown sugar, crushed dried roses and something (pleasingly) herbal. Flavors track the nose with some Zin funk and alcoholic heat on the finish. And also something sweet in the finish. Gone are the flavors of cinnamon, plum, and coffee flavors. The tannins are dusty. This is very ready to drink and probably beginning to plateau down. 14.3% alc. With homemade pizza of sausage and pepperoni. Recommended.

  drank over 2 nights. first day this was OTT and drink like wine fruit punch. mellowed out a bit on 2nd night but still a really big wine at 10 years old. well made but not necessarily my cup of tea

  Deep ruby. Black cherries; blackberries; and spicy, woody, forestal notes on the nose. Big, rich, mouth coating, with dark, ripe fruit and noticeable oak notes of vanilla, spice. Medium acidity, medium-low tannin, good length. Not a shy zin, flirting with being too big and ripe, but somehow holding the line well. Very good.
