January 10, 2019 - This used to be a rockstar zin. It has matured into a very pleasant soft zin. No nose, pleasant mid and nice finish; but I miss the rockstar.

November 29, 2013 - Essentially no aroma. Taste is balanced just not a big Zin as I expected.

February 14, 2013 - Very well balanced Zin. Not your average jammy California powerhouse. More refined. Great long finish.

November 16, 2011 - Savory and meaty aromas along with ripe berry fruit, pepper, anise and barbecue spice. Medium-plus bodied with ripe berry fruit, earth and touch of green herbal notes. Fairly good acidity keeps it interesting along with dusty tannins but with an overall polished feel. Good length.
