  January 23, 2014 - A deep, deep burgundy greets the eye. The nose awakens to cranberry, rhubarb, Draper Perfume, graham cracker, earth and mineral. This is one broad ranging Zin bouquet, and enticingly so. The palate shows distinct caramel, plum, cranberry, roasted tomato, cinnamon ... each time, each sip seemed to draw a new facet of the profile. The mouthfeel is smooth and silky with integrated tannins. Simply delicious. This still pours fairly clean with very little sediment. 14.5% alc. With venison (and other) sausages. The wine raises the venison sausage to a whole, new level. An excellent wine: Recommended.

  February 25, 2013 - Sadly, this bottle was past prime! Too sweet (like a bad desert wine).

  August 14, 2011 - Very mellow and smooth. All the edges are gone. Probably past it's peek. Still plenty of fruit.

  July 17, 2011 - This may be past peak, but still held deep and rich fruit flavor. Dark plum/brown color. Cork was toast, so filtered and decanted about an hour. Wish I had more!
