October 6, 2021 - Very surprised at the quality at eleven years old. Fruit is lively with no signs of pruning.

May 23, 2021 - Many zin producers by 2010 had given up making earthy, briary, balanced bottles relying on acid for aging rather than on overly extracted fruit and hammerhead tannins. Not Fred. This is just coming into its own, and is as pretty, elegant, and complex as any 12 year old zinfandel I’ve had. Lighter body, but lots of sweet red cherry juice robed in a peppery, cough syrup , iodine , black pepper and mint wafer, Stored in cellar since release, popped and poured. it improved over an hour. Best slightly chilled, an easy 10 years of great drinking to come, perfect with grilled steak, salmon or chicken, simply spiced with garlic, dill, mint, etc.

April 5, 2019 - Quite nice at present with great fruit and balancing acidity. Drink or hold for a couple of years.

March 24, 2016 - On the lighter side of zin but doesn't lack any zin character including a bit of bramble and spice that made it really enjoyable. Nice food wine but think it would struggle a bit as a porch sipper, no harm no foul on that point!
