  July 23, 2014 - Opened with the staff at Ridge. An amazing wine. Not just alive at 30 years of age but a trememdous expression of zin. On first pour, the wine was a beautiful deep garnet color. Nose was red fruits and plum. On first taste, it was bright and focused with rasperry and pleasing acidity. No tannins at all. Over the course of an hour it held its own without much change. I would have pegged its age as far younger.

  March 21, 2010 - Leo's Blind Tasting Group - March '10 edition (Braeburn, NYC): Stunning aromatics again; sweet fragrances of cookie dough, baking spices and floral elements mingled with bright cherry and plum fruit. Starts out feeling a heavy in the mouth where the fruit initially feels very ripe and a little jammy, but with some air it freshens up really nicely to show bright black cherries and berries with touches of spice and earth.
