  August 21, 2020 - Not my cup of wine. Disjointed, a bit acidic. Zin struggled against the petite sirah

  February 9, 2019 - Decanted 1 hr. Bright, consistent tastes of darker fruits & spices. Well-balanced blend.

  January 13, 2016 - Very pronounced smell, this is about 25% petite. More claret style we all agree, really brightens up. Really darn good. Mouthfeel and minerality is all there. Long lingering. Again, big wine but really works it out.

  June 9, 2015 - Some Cali Red Samples (My Place - Washington, DC): Vibrant purple color. Needs time to open up and show darker, sweeter fruit (black cherries, plums), some sweet herbal notes, herbal liqueur, toast, vanilla. Full and chewy on the palate, moderate-low acid, firm and dry tannins. Rich plum cake, black cherry cola, baked figs mixed with loamy, tilled soil notes. Add some sweet oak, vanilla and ginger snap flavors. Full, big, deep stuff, lots of body, but showing complex coffee, graphite, iron and forest floor notes. Sweet and toasty, firm drying finish. Definitely could use some time to unwind, but delicious. 67% Zinfandel, 25% Petite Sirah and 8% Carignane. 14.1% alcohol, aged 18 months in 15% new French oak.
