May 15, 2021 - Retail $35. I bought six bottles of this wine from Last Bottle five years ago for under twenty bucks a bottle and this is the last of the lot. Wunderbar. Elyse has long been of my wife's favorites and while this is throwing quite a bit of sediment, my wife is on point. A decade out and this is still delivering fantastic fruit (black and red fruit, albeit ever-so-slightly stewed), a bit of spice, menthol, and a bunch of verve. The palate? Even better. Still considerable fruit, depth, spice, and, surprisingly, tannins. But above all else? This has verve. In spades. I revise my earlier estimation. Whoa.

August 4, 2019 - Very good fruit-forward Zin with solid structure. Lacking classic Zin spicy bite; more like a Bolgheri Cab-Sangiovese blend. Still a great bottle of wine with steak or lamb.

July 26, 2019 - Good solid bottle. Not likely to improve though. Great with a Sous Vide Strip and some corn. Just a nice drinking wine.

Enjoyed with grilled habanero sausage, grilled veggies, and ranch style beans. Still has fruit and some fading structure. Drink before the end of 2019 or before.
