More life in the bottle, but drinking very well now! Outstanding zin (holds in the tug-of-war with Ridge). A little more fruit forward than Ridge with a little less pepper, but still a slight smoke flavor and aroma. Paired this with some bar-b-q chicken and worked beautifully.

We didn't just like it, we LOVED it! A monster Zin bursting with flavor but smooth despite 16.6 alcohol. This is CA Zinfandel at it's very best, we take all they will allocate us (currently four bottles).

Nose of rich, black berry, black cherry, and allspice, big body, very tasty, mouth filling fruit, needs 4 years to peak, just delicious, overwhelmed other wines tasted, and a long, long, flavorful finish and aftertaste. Uploaded photo.

Garnet color with a bouquet and flavor typical of this variety and vineyard with plum and brambles predominating. Big wine with a lot of alcohol and with mostly integrated tannins. Good depth with a long if a bit scratchy ending. Probably too much alcohol.

Outstanding zin and drinking great. Dark fruit, spices but also balanced with cherry and lighter fruits. Long finish. Wish I had more.
