  June 3, 2015 - I am glad I opened this now. It was nearly dark plum in color, but starting to show light brick around the rim. It still had a big nose that was full of plum & dark fruits with black pepper. It was nearly full body with a fair amount of tannins. It had a mid-finish and like a lot of old vine Zins, it could have fooled me in a blind tasting since it tasted like a Cabernet.

Perhaps I need to drink more California wine, but this seems to me to be wine mutated to the point of absurdity. It is really hardly recognizable as a dry red wine. This is sort of the Spider Man 3 of wines. Not sure why anyone would want to drink something like this, but maybe I just need to expand my definition of red wine. I think it might be good in sangria or in the making of some sort of barbeque sauce.

  May 21, 2012 - This is wine that really goes well with spicy foods, and has more substanance than 90% of the zinfandels out there. If you're wanting elegance, so elsewhere. But if you want a "food" wine, go here.

  May 5, 2012 - PNP. Big nose, pepper, dark fruits, alcohol. Taste of plum/raisins, peppery spice, medium full body. Dry, but not overly so, and a decent medium+ finish with pretty good tannins. Very smooth and enjoyable after an hour.
