25 % new american oak, the remainder 1-2 yr old barrels. Very fine nose, perhaps some ripe tropical fruit and some buttered popcorn, but also some truffel pungency and mineral tones, this is very fine. Perhaps a tad bit short on the finish, but nice cali chard!
100 % zinfandel from dry creek valley, vines planted in 2000. Very delicious nose, candied fruit, chocolate, red berries and fruit, lovely, wide open for drinking now.
Complex, forward nose, a lot of leather, good structure still, good freshness, some of the zin sweetness has evaporated but there is still a lot of fruit in there.
incredible nose, lots of berries, chocolate, sloeberries, delicious, elegant, very sandpaperfine tannins, but they are there, incredibly well put together, structured. long and fine finish.
