Nose of blueberry and blackberry pies with a smoke and tobacco component. This bottle was allowed to breath in the bottle for several hours. It brought out a fruity-sweetness on the palate with blackberry and spice. Medium finish. Very smooth and silky on the finish. Delicious.

I liked the bottle we had with dinner earlier so much, I popped a second. The first bottle tonight was terrific! (BL90). This bottle is thinner, lacking structure and complexity. Probably would have tasted better solo, but after the bottle earlier, it's disappointing.

Softer than I necessarily like my Zinfandels, but very nice. I suspect that the score would be higher if I hadn't expected something a little different. Certainly, if you're a fan of quieter Zinfandels, a wine to seek out.

Like the bottle on 2/21, this bottle was terrific! Heavier, more concentrated, more complex. Intense fruit, some tobacco and leather. Terrific!

Wow! This bottle is the best of this vintage I've tried. Heavier, more concentrated, more complex, than any other. Terrific!

Nice zin. On the delicate side. Nice black pepper notes. Black fruits on the palate. Not too fruit forward. Nice acid to balance.
