This was quite pleasant, though am surprised to see it cost me $67 after tax from the winery - not cheap. This was surprisingly open and light on its feet - I was expecting more structure - I would not wait longer to open this. Has the briary savory tones I come to expect from a zin, but this also has significant sweetness, lift brightness. There is plenty of charm here, though feels too pricey.

This has calmed down a lot and is actually drinkable now. Concentrated simple red fruits with adequate acidity. There’s plenty of EtOH of course but it doesn’t totally destroy the palate. The group liked it.

Consumed at a restaurant. The bottle was open about 45 minutes before dinner. It was terrific.

Lots of that great Martinelli red-fruit intensity.
