  February 23, 2019 - Brick red/garnet color. Plum, black cherry, fig scents. Peppery fruit flavors. Possibly on the downhill side but still delightful. RIP Senor Valdez!

  September 2, 2018 - This seems to be a special wine and it helps to let it properly age

  February 24, 2018 - Smooth zin that went well with home-made pizza. Not over the hill.

  September 3, 2016 - Very dark in flavor. Blackberry and maybe plum. I did not find it to be sweet nor did I think the alcohol was out of balance. Drinking well, even on the 2nd day. I did not find it lacking in acidity, and I love great acidity.

  January 31, 2016 - Huge Zin. A style I do not enjoy. Very high alcohol (said 15.1, felt even higher). A ton of fruit (mostly blackberries, some blueberries). A ton of vanilla and toasted coconut from the oak. Sweet, cloying. Almost in port territory. Not enough acidity. Really wanted to like this wine (from a remarkable man who is one of the best vineyard managers in the country), but I just did not. Some people with a taste for huge, sweet, fruit-forward and high alcohol wines may like it though.
