Has the characteristics of a big, jammy Lodi zin, but it's a more subdued and nuanced. Strawberry, blueberry, cedar, and some sugary sweetness. Nice, though a bit too much of the sweet note for my taste.

From a morning tasting at the Amador location. My notes are sparse and based on memory. 14.9% ABV. This had a more developed nose than the Old Vines. At first, I thought about oak influences, but there was more there to enjoy with the kitchen spices and fruit. Of the wines I tasted, this was probably most reminiscent of Tegan's Sandlands bottlings in style. 89-90

Nose is Maraschino and Cali garrigue. Good juicy fruit and a Candy Stripe gum vibe. Middle is denim and sweat with membrillo and more cherry. So smooth and vibrant. Just terrific stuff

Perfect Zin. Open for about 45 minutes in a restaurant. That amount of time was fine.
