5/28/10: Will have to retry. This was shipped a couple weeks ago, but was not showing well right now. The oak was not integrated at all with the wine, making this a little bitter. I'd give it a couple of months and then see what we have. 88?
4/6/10: Big, rich, rip zin. Some spices. Riper style. Some heat on the finish. Good, not my favorite, but also hard not to like. 88-89

Tons of berries on the aromatics. Good fruit. Simpler. Yummy fruit. Very good, more typical of what I expect from most other zins. 8
