Though, I did enjoy drinking this wine, but I was expecting a lot more. I remember drinking a Cab from Decoy a couple years back, that was much better. The good news is this Zin got better after clearing the air for a couple of hours. I'm hoping it's the year, as I have a 2011 in the cellar. We shall see.

Second bottle (first note 7-16-03) maybe not as good. Tastes like an entry level Zin, not worth $20. Not all that complex or full-bodied as I remember. Better choices in this price range - for example Four Vines Maverick or Sophisticate. Might be better in a year, then maybe not.

Not overly complex or full but solid, enjoyable, nice fruit and spice tones. Very good value.

This took on a spiced bitter toffee undertone that was very unique. Very enjoyable and drinking nicely.
