Open with Chris from bedrock. This is probably the most mature of the 2013 single vineyards lots of fruit and starting to go towards overly ripe and one note. No reason to hold

Medium dark muted violet color. Bouquet is fresh, herbaceous, earthy. Lovely flavors of blackberry compote, savory spices, damp leaves in a great way. Tannins super well integrated, present but subdued. Acidity is still there. Wonderful bottle. Super flavorful, greatly balanced. My last one so someone else will have to report back on how the bottle evolves in the future.

Opaque violet with enticing red and black fruit, bramble, pepper, charred wood, dried herb and subtle floral aromas. On the pallet, it is medium, bodied, and very fresh with well integrated fine grain tannins. It shows black raspberry, a blend of ripe black cherry and cherry liqueur, and subtle blackberry flavors accented with peppery spice and earthy notes. Long finish

So I'm not going to leave a score on this one because I'm still unsure as to whether it was a flawed bottle, but this was not good. Odd/sweet oak on the nose, and crazy thin on the palate with only a hint of fruit, more oak, and a strange finish. I originally thought the bottle was off but now looking at recent CT reviews that sound somewhat similar, I wonder if this wine is just shot??

While I could see this going strong in the coming years, it’s drinking extremely well now. Some of the rough edges are off, resulting in a nice balance between youthful liveliness and aged elegance. Not old enough for tertiary character. Medium weight for a Zin. Hints of both brambles and elegance. My last bottle, and honestly, I’m happy to have experienced it in its current state.
