  November 15, 2016 - This wine is still holding its own even after the recommended drink date. Has black cherry and nice earth tones, with a hint of peppery nose. Nice finish. The tannins have almost disappeared, so I need to drink my last three bottles of this vintage by early - mid 2017. This is a very nice zin.

  December 7, 2013 - Better than expected, nice balance between the black cherry and raspberry fruit. Smooth, soft finish, with hints of vanilla and earth. Not as overdone as a lot of Zin's from Amador.

  November 21, 2013 - 30% from their Deaver vineyard. Nose shows black cherry, raspberry, not overly Zin-like. Palate pretty nicely expressive, sweet strawberry, raspberry, red cherry, juicy profile, medium tannins backing it up. Solid entry level stuff.

  July 30, 2013 - At Capital Grille in Philadelphia with a burger, turned out to be a great pairing...
  
  Rich nose of dark fruits, berry, earth. Texture is chewy and thick but not heavy...would describe as fruit forward but most comes out mid palate - plums, pomegranate, dark fruits, liqueur,, cherry, dark chocolate.
  
  Would be a great pairing with BBQ, steaks, spicy chicken. Like most Zins, this guy is ready now and drinking well, wouldn't wait.
