January 16, 2021 - Really good for being so young. Very fruit forward but balanced. No big alcohol taste. Nice finish. Can’t wait to taste my other bottles.

December 10, 2020 - Great QPR. Can drink young, or age a few years. Always a solid choice.

November 19, 2020 - Opens with some earthy aromas but the ripe red fruit quickly comes to the fore. Lower acidity than some but still shows nice brightness. The DCV Zin is always good balance of quality and value. Drinking well now.

September 6, 2020 - Medium bodied, nice mix of black and red fruits, well resolved tannins. Good balance. Well made, just lacks a bit of punch and complexity. Good candidate for early drinking while waiting for the single vineyard wines to come around.
