January 15, 2020 - this is what Zin used to taste like before it go "Parkerized"! Zesty black raspberries and signature brambly fruit, with maybe a hint of licorice. medium-to-full bodied. Really nice mouthfeel and texture with just a bit of roughness on the finish (P.S. component?) Would definitely buy again, but am sure this vintage is sold out everywhere. nice to have a structured 14.5% Zin! At its peak now

August 12, 2019 - Finally living up to its potential, but of course it's the last bottle and the stores have moved on to more recent vintages. Just shows that even moderately priced wines can benefit from short term aging to get the best out of the wine.

July 27, 2019 - Similar to other reviews, definitely felt the PS in the blend darken but also possibly mute the Zin leaving the mid-palate a bit hollow. Pleasant dark bramble-berry fruits present, smooth & easy drinking w/BBQ and choc cake...just not as much spice, intensity or complexity compared to higher end DCVs. Solid effort and good QPR, and might have reached an 88 with a solid decanting, better glassware, different food, etc. Not sure where WS92 comes from, unless for potential development further into their 2026 window - which seems way beyond where this wine might improve slightly from today.
