  January 28, 2014 - For a $14 Zin it's great QPR. Well balanced, nice body, a bit of spice but overall seems lacking in the depth of fruit. Def stands up to a strong marinara sauce or spice rubbed pork loin.

  September 21, 2013 - This was my last bottle, and it finally seems to be headed downhill. It's still very good, but it's time to drink up.

  July 12, 2013 - Wow! What a pleasant surprise. We love Dry Creek zins but were not familiar with this producer. The Dry Creek grapes are put to good use here.
  
  PnP. A bit of fruit on the nose. Not the big fruit bomb you get sometimes with Sonoma zins. Medium body and nicely integrated. Smooth finish with just a hint of cedar and spice.

  May 26, 2013 - Last night, I had two highly-regarded 2007 zinfandels, both of which cost more than twice what I paid for the Bradford Mountain. Both of them seemed a little tired, but this one is just now hitting its stride. It still has hints of tar and licorice, but the berries and spices dominate. Terrific nose, medium body and a fairly lengthy finish. In no danger of going downhill anytime soon.

  May 12, 2013 - This wine has an interesting sweetness to it which I haven't seen in a zin. Not unpleasant but different with cassis like flavors. Well balanced but not with a spicy edge.
