Beautiful wet, rainy day, California aroma. First taste has tons of berries, fresh, smooth, very light. The finish is unusual, a bit Dr Peppery and a bit fresh cut grass. Almost a "child's soft drink" flavor. Overall decent, definitely have had better, but not bad for a Thursday Night wine.

Shows the nice linear and focus of the 2010 vintage.. This is a wine for acid heads. This is not a wine for those who like opaque high octane Zins.. It has no noticeable oak, The color is ruby and slightly transparent. The nose has red fruit and rose hips. The palate shows cranberry, and floral qualities with a dash of berries.. It seems to me this will show best next year or the next 5. It is gorgeous and will go great with Spicy food.

Decanted for an hour Very expressive nose of cherry/red fruit Great blance/acidity make this emminently drinkable but now but I'd give it a year. I just love this kind of gulpable Zin

I concur with prior comments. This wine is still dominated by acid, but it does drink well particularly with food.
