  Well aged and tasting great !!
  Near perfect cork easily removed from this properly cellared Sonoma County Zin blend. The blue cap has always been a go to wine, but how did it age ?? Apparently really well. Deep purple color with minor oxidation with excellent clarity. Aromas and flavors of blackberry, currant, plum, and fig with a medium finish. At or just passing peak. Excellent winemaking by Ted Seghesio.

  Here's one that aged well and came through the fire unscathed. Deep red color with robust texture and subtle tannins. Great with food and ny itself. These guys rarely disappoint with their Zins.

  D'amblé, je dois reconnaitre que j'ai peu d'attirance pour les vins issus de Zinfandel. Je n'ai pas eu de véritable coup de coeur encore, ni du coté des Primitivo d'ailleurs.
  Bon ceci dit, cette bouteille a été consommé sur quelques jours en accompagnement de différents plats. Seul, le vin me laisse une impression de lourdeur et de chaleur. En accompagnement de pâtes avec sauce tomate, viande dont saucisse italienne en morceaux, le vin était beaucoup mieux.
  Apparence rouge grenat, encre, très dense, reflets bleutés.
  Nez très ouvert, raisins secs, prune, tabac sucré.
  En bouche, tanins un peu carrés (malgré l'age de la bouteille), de la chaleur et de la sucrosité, beaucoup de fruits cuits. Persistance moyenne sur la noix de grenoble. Le lendemain, bu un peu frais, saveurs métalliques (qu'est-ce que c'est ?!).
  Avec certain plat, peu être convenable.
  Pour amateur de vin costaud .

  Strange pepper bouquet and flavour without the character of the 08 or 06.
