Dark red color, full of fruit with nice bouquet. High alcohol and a bit of acidity but long on the tongue & drank well. Have 2 bottles left & need to drink fairly soon! I'm a big fan of Silverado wines and I will be buying more!

Food Pairing: coffee-crusted beef tenderloin. Nose: Bright big fruit with lots of cherry and rasberry. Hint of vanilla and chocolate. Mouth: A true fruit bomb in the mouth with lots of different fruity flavors and little spice or pepper. Very ripe tasting grapes from a good sunny year in Napa ('04). Finish was somewhat quick and without great complexity, which is what holds the wine back from a 92+. With such a medium bodied Zin, I expect it could pair well with many foods. Ready to drink now ('08).

Not an altogether unpleasant wine, but definitely lacking in complexity and depth. The berries are there, they just smell and taste as though they've been diluted. Salud!

Aged well, mellowed put but still had good fruit and backbone to pair with BBQ
