July 31, 2021 - Rich, full mouth feel. This 9 year old Zin is aging well. Still some acidity for balance, but tannins are smooth. Dark, delicious fruit is very present. Layers of flavor make this wine interesting. Could last a couple/few more years, but fruit is perfect now.

November 8, 2018 - Interesting tangerine-brick color. Strawberry candy, rose, and spice nose. Medium bodied, raspberries, sage, dusty cranberries, well integrated tannins, good acid, and a cherry-infused medium length finish. Looks old, tastes young.
