A bit disappointing. Neither the ripe lush fruit or complexity of many zins. Didn't really improve over several hours. Ridge/Carlisle/Outpost zins are much more interesting. Perhaps 2011 not the best year to compare.

Drank to begin Christmas Even dinner so paired with cheese, shrimp, prime rib, mashed potatoes, green beans. Wine was tasty - has the fruit that one expects of a Zin but with some balancing spice characteristics. Not overpowering which was nice. Makes a good daily drinker.

A little green and had some pinot to it. Not my style and a bit surprised from L-M.
