February 12, 2022 - Love this winery but this particular bottle was not quite what we're used to, VERY figgy-prune on PnP and just difficult to get past the jammy texture. Just felt out of balance. Improved significantly with a Day 2 decant for 2+ hrs when things settled out nicely and more of a bramble fruit and softness came through, with the alcohol receding to the background. Good not great.

October 7, 2021 - Simply delicious. As good or better than I remember the bottle of this I had last year. Might be the tastiest, most memorable zin I've ever had from Nalle. This is a winner.

November 14, 2020 - Medium bodied with plenty of berry fruit and a little bit of earth. Sat by the fire outside drinking this one on a cool night. Really pleasant.

November 22, 2018 - Very bright and medium body zin. I really liked that they didn’t over do the alcohol. Brambly, ripe cranberry, some minerality, some dark chocolate. Felt organized and layered on the palate. No formal notes but very good.
