January 7, 2018 - Dark ruby with none of the expected bricking. Raspberry, earth, spice and cola nose. Medium bodied, tart cherries, blackberries, fully resolved tannins, sage, eucalyptus, and a long, persistent, red berry finish. This is in a wonderful place right now.

October 22, 2012 - This is serious quality Zin, even though I don't love the grape. It's pretty alcoholic, but can handle it with thick dark red and purple fruits. European-leaning, but enjoys its fruity peppery Zin-iness too
