March 27, 2020 - Dark berry fruit with smooth well integrated tannins. Long finish. Took a while to open up.
August 19, 2017 - 12 Bones Ribs & Zins (Kiawah Island, SC): Similar to Saxum Paderewski but brighter red fruit, raspberry, strawberry
August 19, 2017 - Purple. Meat, spice and minerals on the nose. Lots of dark fruit, moderate intensity, low acid, mild tannins, nice finish. Many people's WOTN, my #3.
June 6, 2017 - A nose of dark fruits and spice, dark purple in color. A full bodied Zin blend, with jammy black cherry, blackberry, licorice and pepper and spicy long finish, as all LC’s wines, great stuff. In a very good drinking zone. www.winelx.com
April 4, 2017 - Great 2nd day wine.
February 3, 2017 - Wonderful wine with big black and blue fruit flavors. Layered with spicy, earthy stuff that just winds in and out seemlessly. Incredibly balanced with no noticeable faults. Surprisingly, the finish is only medium which considering how good this is, was a little bit of a let down. But I am really being picky and probably justifying to myself why the score is not higher.
December 28, 2016 - I think it needs a little more time, but will be great.
February 27, 2016 - Perfumed on the nose with cherry pie (unusual for a Zin). Blackberry and blueberries on the palate along with a little roasted meat and maybe a hint of vanilla. Needs more time, probably would get a higher score from me, but very good. Nice wine as usual for Linne Calodo. Love these wines!
November 20, 2015 - This is an outstanding wine if you like big, dark fruit with strong hints of tobacco and modest spice. Not a typical Zinfandel; the Syrah adds wonderful complexity and balance.
