  The cork puled through and it has been on its side pretty much ever since I got it in 2014! That indicates Ravenswood needs to improve their corks.
  
  Medium body with a lot of blueberry and boysenberry flavors, a little bit of smoke and a nice light spice end tannin. Bottle was at or near its peak. Yum!

  Last of two bottles. First bottle drunk in 2016 and had too much heat. This bottle was a much better experience. Very little zin heat. Lots of dark tannic dark chocolate. I have been drinking a lot of Italian wines lately and this was a nice change. The finish was too short as I was left with wanting more. Decanted for 2+ hours.

  No formal notes. 1/2 hour decant, a little sediment. This has come together. Fine, elegant, great balance and flavor. Worth the wait

  Similar experience as GALEWSKJ. Typical Zin heat, but nothing much but smooth light fruit that is a little boring. I wanted more...(2 hour decant)

  Pop and pour. Some significant alcohol blew off in the first 30 minutes. After that, extremely smooth to the extent that it's boring. No flaws and nothing of interest. Maybe on the decline? My textbook 88 - pleasant to drink, nothing wrong with it, and nothing to get excited about.
