  Tail gate wine before the Atheltics win over the Yankees. All good - color clarity and body. Not getting better but still tastes good. Light fruit and pepper. Easy drinking nothing complex.

  I call this Zlicious wine! This holds up well even after storing a couple of years. Good color, clarity and body. Flavors have dipped a little but still has some complexity. I will drink my last bottle in the next 12 months.

  [Used Private Preserve after Day 1]
  
  N: An odd, rubbery component to this blows off, giving way to berries, possibly some earthyness
  
  P: MF body; Nice frt on the front with bracing acidity soon kicking in. LONG, tangy/spicy finish with just a touch of alch? 14.6% ABV
  
  Subsequent 2 days: If anything, this drank better Day 2, holding nicely into Day 3. For the the N aromas of plumminess developed. My score represents the sheer PLEASURE of this, not to mention its drinkability with varying cuisine & over a span of several yrs.

  I'd call this "precision" Zinfandel- everything balanced and very drinkable.

  Nice bright fruit with good acidity. A bit light on complexity and tannic structure.
