Lots of black fruits, blackberries, currants, black raspberries, and black cherries. The Storybook Reserve Zins need about 8-10 years, then become almost claret like. An elegant wine with medium to full body. Not like other zins but delicious nonetheless, and an excellent food wine.

- Purple color with medium forming legs and aromas of black pepper, black currant, blackberry and fig. It's unbalanced and has flavours of black pepper, black currant, blackberry and fig with a medium body. Leathery texture with a medium finish.

Spectacular. Opened 4 2007 (Pinot, zin, Syrah and cab) with an herbed roast leg of lamb. All were great matches. This is drinking beautifully, silky and smooth with great balance. Not a jammy zin but much more subtle and elegant.
