  July 10, 2009 - Dallas Berserkers do Campania (Campania in Dallas, TX): WIMLNR
  
  Tasted July 10, 2009 at an offline.
  
  Opened and served immediately. Followed over about two hours. Dark garnet color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nose of smoke, currants, dark berries and a dash of white pepper. Flavors of berries, cherries and a dash of red currants on the slightly clipped finish. Light to medium acidity, medium tannins, medium body. Drink or hold. After tasting this wine on a couple of finishes I got an impression that the wine might be very mildly corked (it did not show up on the nose) so I'm withholding a rating as a result. Didn't stop me from finishing it though!

  February 16, 2009 - Perfectly decent Zinfandel although a bit pruny and simple and therefore disappointing. I tasted this wine at the winery last summer and bought a singleton, so I wasn't wowed by it but it showed better then. Kept indoors (air-conditioned) but not cellared. Best on the pop and pour. Hmmm.

  September 19, 2008 - 15.3% alcohol. This was more open than the first bottle, and this one had more air. Spicy black fruit, smooth in the mouth, great acidity. Just a very fine drink. A-

  September 1, 2008 - 15.3% alcohol. Probably too soon to have drunk this. It was still reticent. The bouquet never gave me all that much. The fruit was big and ripe, with less acidity than I anticipate from a Swan Zinfandel normally. Tasty but a bit simple. Plenty of tannins on the finish. B+
