January 25, 2020 - 4th Saturday Brown Bagger (Sue's): Double blind. Dark fruit and herb notes. Black currant, plum and pepper flavors. Good. Guessed syrah.
September 13, 2016 - Very muted nose. Sour aftertaste. Assumed it was a flawed bottle and opened our other bottle, exactly the same. So, have to assume it is past its drinking window and heading downhill.
June 24, 2015 - A nose of dark cherries and spice, dark garnet in color. A medium to full bodied Rhone blend, with black cherry, raspberry, herbs, licorice and pepper spiced finish. www.winelx.com
February 16, 2015 - Aroma of oak, black pepper, and licorice.
Smooth, velvety with modest sweetness.
It's a blend of some really good grapes especially the Grenache, petite Sarah,and Zin. This second bottle of this vintage that we have enjoyed.
May 25, 2014 - 36th Annual Zinfandel Retrospective - the 2009s (Rich & Dana's): Black fruit and spice, hints of vanilla. Firm tannins, with dark fruit, spice and vanilla.
November 27, 2013 - Drank at in-laws after returning from Napa. Great with pizza, but also has more to it than that. Deep, dark fruit flavors while still being extremely drinkable. I'd like to buy more of this to keep around.
