August 28, 2016 - Getting old. Less fruit, less intensity. Don't wait any longer.
November 29, 2015 - In its drinking window. Strong middle palate with soft, silky tannins.
July 3, 2013 - We got a big fruity zinfandel nose. The fruit on the pallet seemed more in the red fruit than I expect from zinfandels. I usually anticapte that zins will give me a sense of darker fruit. Maybe it is the 10% carignane that gave it the red flavor. Very nice.
October 20, 2012 - Candied blackberries and melon with fresh ground black pepper. Yum.
September 4, 2012 - Faded somewhat in the nose and mouthfeel, but still a tasty glass of Zin.
August 25, 2012 - Nat cork. A pretty, dark ruby color. Blackberry and rhubarb on a pretty nose, ever so slightly candied, almost a birch beer note, high toned and a bit of glycerin but not offputting. Some peppery spice as well. A lovely tasting wine with ripe fruit - slightly skitteled but fun, the alc is perceptible but not overpowering, nice pepper note builds through the palate.
August 10, 2012 - Wine had a slight spritz. Brooding nose with no overt fruit aromas. Extremely light, silky and elegant on the palate. More like a Burg-lover's zinfandel. I'm thinking this will be far more enjoyable when served with a suitable dinner than being sipped alone. This is my second bottle with consistent notes.
July 17, 2012 - Tasted at the winery. Blue fruit on the nose with subtle mulled spice. Red cherry and red currant notes on the palate that are jammy and juicy, along with notes of earth and cracked pepper. Juicy fleshy tannins and a nice long finish. Very nice.
June 16, 2012 - Expressive fruit, rich, but something I don't like about the finish.
March 24, 2012 - Very nice and balanced Zin...consumed it with dinner in a supper club so I don't remember too much about the details. Too may Zins these days taste syrupy and this one definitely does not. Nice tannins...probably wil get better with a few more years.
