Wow this was pleasantly surprised by this random purchase. Needed a wine for a seafood dinner that was not a chard/PG/SB so picked this little gem up.
Initially, it was served too cold but once it warmed up it really started to shine. Almost chard like with green apple, pear, citrus, and melon flavors along with some nice minerality and well balanced acidity.

One of my favorite producers. Even in this "down" vintage, it is still pretty good.
Pnp and drinking well right now, still in its sweet spot but I would not let this vintage go much further.
Smooth velvety black and blue fruits. Paired perfectly with filet mignon and blue cheese mashed potatoes.

Outstanding! This compares very well to the best Spanish albarino. Enticing apple aromas lead way to honeydew, nectarine, pear, and apple flavors. The salinity just makes you want to come back for more and more.

Decanted for an hour. Very good but not as big and bold as I would have expected. Lots of dark fruits, oak, vanilla, and touches of tobacco. Smooth and velvety.

Big bold flavors! Earthy, tobacco, dark fruit, and spice. Excellent!

Drinking so perfectly Ripe silky and solid. Layers of blue and black fruit. Integrated oak and lovely tertiary aromas just peeking through. I wish I had more!

Wow! Great bottle from an off-vintage. Still going strong. Decanted for 1.5 hrs prior to drinking. Wonderful dark fruit and chocolate aromas. Full bodied with plum, blackberry, vanilla, and soft oak throughout. Still has many years left in it...

A really good P.S. Full bodied. Chocolate and dark fruit. Perfect with our steak.

I expected more from this Zin. Average dark fruit aromas. Smooth soft flavors of plum, blackberry, and a light earthiness. Soft tannins and medium body. Average finish.

Very young right now but shows the promise of something great in a few years. I decanted for about 3 hrs prior to drinking. Nice dark fruit aromas. Raspberry, blackberry, graphite, and a nice earthiness to it.

A great blend! Wonderful red fruit and chocolate aromas. On the palate, blackberry, raspberry and a chocolatey oak finish. A solid lengthy finish...would def. recommend trying!

Nice jammy berry aromas. Dark berry, light chocolate, oaky spice and firm tannins with a solid finish.
A good Napa Cab for the price.
