January 1, 2020 - From 3L bought at winery many years ago. Drinking perfectly right now. Beautiful fruit on the nose and mouth. Perfectly balanced. Drinking at it's peak.

June 17, 2013 - This needs about 30-60 minutes to breathe before drinking.
Delicious, black fruits & blueberries up front followed by a medium finish wrapped in vanilla oak flavors. Not too tannic. A nice Zin blend that is drinking well now. -

December 18, 2012 - Smells of ripe blueberries with whisping green notes. High alcohol on the nose and taste. Strong tannins. Sweet. Not as balanced as the 2007.

November 23, 2012 - Deep, dark crimson. Masculine nose of conifer, oak, tobacco, pepper, and graphite complement black cherry, cranberry, and pomegranate fruit aromas. Fruity and fresh with a medium body and a smooth texture. Pronounced flavors of blackberries and blueberries segue into a beguiling back note of clove. The minerally finish is intensified with hints of chocolate and cinnamon. Develops additional aromas of earth, cedar, cigar box, and a touch of sulfur after a 2-hour decant. Very good to excellent.
