We picked this up last summer on a one-day swing through the Dry Creek area. Tasted alongside a 2004 Passalaqua Old Vines with No Spit and our respective Departments of Homeland Security. No Spit immediately commented on the big attack and full body of this wine. It was a big mouthful of not quite jammy wild berry and cherry fruit with deep layers of flavor. The nose spoke of black fruit, zin spices, oak and toasted nuts. The high alcohol was not obtrusive. The finish was long with concentrated sweet black fruit notes and spice. Excellent.

PNP into Zalto Bordeaux glass (“Flower” day): Medium garnet to the eyes.
Nicely ripe and ‘sweet’ and so nicely paired with Anago rice. Floral and elegant style with good freshness.
Very similar fruit forward profile compared to the pinot tasted previously.
94 points.

A good zin, lots of interesting currant flavours although rather hot on the finish.
