  October 31, 2006 - Very nice. Proprietor at our local wine shop said she really likes this as a good wine to slug back while on the porch (I don't have the stamina for that) but she is right. Tannins reach out and say howdy - but do not overwhelm or get in the way of the fruit. 50% zin gives this nice berry flavors while the syrah and cab give it complexity. Great bottle and fantastic QPR. I'll get more of this just in case I get the urge to sit on the porch and start slugging!

  July 3, 2006 - Brick - garnet red. Fruit forward nose complimented by wood spice and pepper. Smooth midpalate and finish, particulary after this wine gets some air (1-2 hours). This is quite drinkable now, though - for a young wine of these varietals, the tannins are quite fine and integrated. Very good blend (50% Zin, 32% Petite Sirah, 13% Syrah, 5% Cab), perhaps a bit easier to pair with food than a striaght Zin: less ripeness more complexity and structure.
