Pale gold color. 2oz pour over 30 minutes. The nose has light toast, yeast, apple, light minerality. The palate is nicely toasted, yeast, baked bread, fresh and crisp, light-medium body, pear, stone fruit. This was very refreshing with good depth and definition.

Medium salmon color. 2oz pour over 30 minutes. This was another very fine offering with an ultra fine bead, lots of clean minerals, strawberry, light, and creamy. 91+pts. Just a bit more subtle on the palate but very clean on the finish.

Light gold color. 2oz pour over 20 minutes. Lots of fusil, apple, some tropical fruit, citrus, sweet, seems a bit flabby tonight. Just not as crisp and bright in the past. Might have been a bit too warm and that may have hurt it a touch.

Dark red color. followed a 2oz pour over 90 minutes. Dark red fruits, anise, spices. The palate is big, some heat, black cherry, full bodied. Pinot? Pinot noir? Not my style.

Dark red color. 3oz pour over 45 minutes. Hadn't had a Rombauer Zin for some time and my last experiences were not memorable. This was a pretty nice showing. Not too heavy or jammy. there was some pretty red berry fruit, framboise, chocolate, boysenberry, ripe, liqueur like palate, balanced.

Very dark red color. Decanted for an 30 minutes, 2oz pour over an hour. I wasn't crazy about this bottle. I've had other vintages that were quite nice. This was somewhat heavy handed, sharp, green, peppery, big, full bodied, blackberry, quite a bit of alcohol showing. Maybe this will settle down a bit with some time, but I'd think that should be the case already.

Very dark red color. PNP, 1 glass over an hour. Its been two years sine last having this, and I wondered how it would be holding up. Well the answer was quite well. Nice ripe black fruits on the nose, with blackberry, black plum, cassis, some red fruit, fresh. The palate has boysenberry, kirsch, layered, just a bit sour, blackberry liqueur, nice pepper, and a medium plus finish. Still can go a couple years based on this bottle. 91+pts.

Very dark red/purple color. PNP, drank 1 glass over an hour. The nose has plenty of blackberry and cassis. The palate has glycerin, blackberry liqueur, medium plus body, blueberry, sweet fruit, good length, wood and some heat. Much better than the last bottle and more typical in general. I'd probably polish these off with the next couple years.

Very dark red/purple color. PNP, drank 1 glass over an hour. Complex nose, savory, roasted meats, smoke, lack fruits. The palate is dry, tar, scorched earth, smoke, blackberry, cassis, teriyaki marinated flank steak, medium plus finish. Just an occasional bit of warmth. Very good, again. 92+pts.

Medium gold color. PNP, drank 1 glass over 30 minutes. Nectarines, pineapple, honey, orange, citrus zest, and spice on both the nose and palate. The palate is sweet and a bit flabby. Not a lot of evolution over the last 2+ years. 91+ to 92pts.

Amber red color. PNP, drank 1 glass over 20 minutes. Sweet, very sweet, strawberry, honey, ripe, syrupy. Very spendy stuff and not a particularly good QPR.
