  June 11, 2011 - Reminded me of an OMV. Still very fresh with a nice raspberry taste. Night two was still going strong with the chocolate coming out a little more. Still can go for a while.

  August 14, 2010 - Well balanced, medium-bodied zin. Great fruit focus without being over-extracted. Spice on the finish. Enjoyable with food or without.

  December 25, 2008 - On Xmas eve after two duds we finally opend a sure thing. With Valerie and Megan and braised beef short ribs for Dinner. This was a perfect wine with the beef, good acid and fruit but it also had a sweetness that really made it go well with dinner. This wine is a great buy from Holdredge (note to self buy more Zin from H).
  Color – nice red/purple
  Appearance – Clear but not brilliant
  Aroma – Nice soft smells of red fruit, mostly raspberries, and maybe even some sweet jam
  Body – Nice heavy body but a good balance of tannin, sweet and crispness
  Taste – fresh raspberry, and jam flavors, good balance of acid, tannin and fruit
  Finish - A decent medium finish,
  This is a good wine with decent structure, enjoy almost anytime but perfect with heavy meats that have fat and salt with the unique sweetness of a zin. This is the wine you want when you bbq on a warm summer night, buy a case and throw a bbq with friends.
