Flavors are integrated, texture like velvet.

For the price point of $14.00 this is a lovely take on a white burgundy. One of Kermit Lynch's wines.

Decanted for 1.5 hours. Lots of sediment in the bottle. Rich dark fruit, hints of vanilla. Really opened and evolved over the next three hours.

Very rich dark berry, cherry. Perfect to drink now. Nice spice, hint of tobacco. Husband thinks there is a hint of licorice as well. Learned it was a special cuvee just for Sams wine store in Chicago, which was bought out by Binny's

never would buy this again - it was a closeout - some bottles were flat - useful for mimosas

Knowing what this wine was like, it's on the decline - hard to make a presence when there are 40 + bottles of ZIN on the table at ZAP. Should have had it last year at the latest.

Great representation of a Dry Creek Zin - sweet but not too jammy - great color and depth

Great Lodi ZIN - brought to an AWS Zin barbecue -

Still held out much of the fruit of an earlier bottle - I've refined my taste of Aussies a bit, but it was a good Tuesday stay in night and have with a spicy salad type of wine.

What a great zin - powers you without being overpowering - full bodied, ripe ripe fruit - makes you lust for more!

Very barnyard on the noise - just what I would expect on the palate for a Northern Rhone Syrah!
Loved it

More time would have been even better but I wanted to share this on the Gatlinburg Wine Trip. Wonderful blend of Darioush's finest varietals. I can only imagine two years from now how great it would have been.

Great Cab - had with Beef Wellington and a Bernaise Sauce

Great ZIN - so much more than the general Ravenswood Sonoma. Lots of sediment.

Very soft smooth cab - while thedrinkability timetable said to 07, the fruit held up and the tannins were just ever so present.

Decanted it - a fair amount of sediment was present - opened beautifully and had all that richness I've come to expect from this wine.

I knew this was past its prime - flat on opening but actually was better hours later - an ok wine to still drink during a weeknight with leftover lasagna.

EXCELLENT!

Excellent fruit - jammy in the style of a Rosenblum but more elegant - it was wonderful and enjoyed by local ZAP group

definitely past its prime - poured it out
