    June 7, 2021 - Initial aromas of blackberry jam and cellar room. Decanted for a couple hours, cellar room notes dissipated, fruit stayed but had more stewed notes. With food, the red fruit was showing better.
    ** At the 4+ hour mark the fruit, especially the red fruit, was really coming through and was a much more rounded wine.

    February 14, 2021 - Decided to open one of two before the Bedrock Lorenzo's release on Tuesday, though obviously wine making styles are different. Decanted for about 30 minutes, drank over three. Nose of dried plums, dried figs, dried cherries, dried blackberries, dried strawberries, chocolate, creme brûlée. Tannins are quite resolved, low acid. Some alcohol peaking out on the finish, which is unsurprising given 15.8% alcohol. Finish is also a touch bitter. I don't see much upside, unfortunately.

    May 23, 2020 - I liked it, but Zins are just not my stuff. A big wine but not insane alcohol at 15.8, so there was some more subtlety and finesse of the fruits that came through. A pretty clean, balanced wine with a bit of RS.
