  June 14, 2012 - This bottle went from the winery to my cellar. Unbelievable after 10 years this wine is opening up to smooth tannins and black cherries. Fruit is well rounded. I opened bottles after my purchase years ago and I thought they were good . However, with time comes character and a great zin continues. I wouldn't let any more at this age go any longer though. I've always thought Peju did a great job and years later it continues to show. Storage is an important component as well. Prost.

  July 22, 2011 - Nice rich ruby hue with slight hints of rust. Looked unfiltered. Blinded on it and guessed central coast cab. Soft tannins, wood chips, dark fruit, and pepper. Drank quickly with friends, which was a good thing as it died quickly.

  July 19, 2009 - This Zin is in the twilight of its life. I found bottle in the bottom of my wine frig. A closed nose which opened up after one hour of decanting. The first twoglasses had some good fruit along with a smell of pepper and spice. Afterwards the bottle was quickly undrinkable. My fault to let good wine go bad. I was in Napa this past week and visited their winery which reminded me to look for Peju at home.

  February 25, 2009 - Very bright and fruity wine. A big, chewy zin. Lots of blackberry and cherry with peppery finish. A very good wine, drink up!
