I not sure what the others see in this wine but for me, this is a great zin for the price point. Great nose and great mouth feel. Similar to the lower end Ridge zins.

The quality of Cigarzin has gone down over the years. But the new label is cool!

What a great Pinot .... Similar to Sea Smoke.

Cellared for 2 years and it was delicious ... Right up there with some of the best Chards .... Unbelievable.

Definitely not worth the price at $37.

For the money I'd rather have the Liars Dice.

A bit disappointing ... I expected a bit more from a bottle rated at 94. Upon opening hints of barn yard and earth on the nose, but good on the palate. But after being open for a 30 minutes or more the barn yard goes away and it becomes a very good bottle.

A Beautiful Champagne .. served at a recent dinner party and was loved by all. I agree with the other tasting notes ... bright flavors of apples and pears. It was fantastic!

OK bottle but for the money you can do a lot better. Honestly not much different than the Klinker Brick Old Vine which is half the price.

A very good bottle that goes a lot better with food than on its own. We drank with Rib Eye steaks and it was excellent.

a very dull unimpressive wine. It was a bit better with some guidance cheese. but overall just flat.

A very enjoyable bottle ... falls somewhere between a Pinot and a Zin. I really liked this alot given the price point.

Nice everyday wine. Dark purple in color and a nice nose. Hints of blackberry and plum.

Nice everyday wine. Good Chardonnay color, not much of a nose though.

I would agree with Yak's comments. Went extremely well with cedar plank salmon ... Overall a very nice Pinot at this price point.

Not overly impressive . . . tastes of cherries and a bit of funk on the nose.

Strange bottle for me ... Overwhelming mint which really detracted from the enjoyment of the bottle.

Tasted when first opened and this wine was just average. However, after decanting for almost two hours it was phenomenal.

A really smooth cab and excellent, especially at this price point. A bit of tobacco on the nose, a little fruit forward, but very very good.

This went very well with BBQ. Very jammy and heavy with notes of strawberry and grape.
