July 19, 2023 - Definitely older style; a bit brown; still some fruit but fading at this stage.
January 31, 2012 - loved this BIG HUGE zin
August 28, 2011 - PnP. Clear, deep purple color. Proper nose, an exceptional wine at a dirt cheap price. Nice balance, soft, great flavor. Not at all over the top. Very enjoyable, good drinking window. Nothing of.
February 4, 2011 - Soft aromas of strawberry, cherry, vanilla, and oak. Full bodied flavors of dark red berries and spice. Good gripping tannins. I think once the tannins mellow out a bit the fruit will come through even more. ($15)
April 27, 2009 - Too big for my tastes, but it did settler down to an acceptable level on second day
January 10, 2009 - Full of Fruit, Long smooth finish. Blueberry and blackberry.
January 3, 2009 - Very pleasant nose and taste. Not long enough for a 90ish rating but quite good on its own. It is a very dry zin which I liked and the wife didn't - take it for what its worth.
August 21, 2008 - Very pleasant zin. Not too alcholic or heavy, but still with great zin flavors and a nice long finish.
February 23, 2008 - Average. Big fruit, body was a bit thin.
July 21, 2007 - nice, jammy fruit flavors with lots of toast and smoke. but the acidity is off and kind of attacks your palate.
