Nice complex nose with dark fruits. Great minerality, fruit, and complexity finely balanced and drinking very well with a great smooth finish. The fruit flavors are still vibrant and delicious.

Fruity and mineral nose, incredibly smooth finish. Lush notes of blueberry strawberry and currant. Not your typical zin. Wall street journal highlighted this winery years ago. Wish I had a a dozen cases of this. They only had 3 bottles when I purchased and I got them all.

Another winner from Talty. Cloudy -- looks unfiltered. Full, fragrant nose, earthy, red bordering on black cherries, some wet leaves, and a little something that pierces the nose -- all on the bouquet. Tremendous, slightly (ever-so-slightly) muted cherry fruits, velvety chocolate covers the cherries, and maybe a touch of strawberry. Chewy cherries -- the tannins are pretty big, but extremely enjoyable. The fruits stop a tad short at the end of the palate. Long finish. Really good.

While I enjoy good grippy and palate filling fruit, this wine was just a little over the top in tartness and intensity. I don't quite understand the drinking window displayed on CT, but this wine should definitely cellar until at least 2014 to mellow out.
