  Maybe somewhat past its peak, but very much an awesome and serious wine. Really cool to get to taste.

  Regular dinner group (@ My place): In the bouquet dark berries, sweet spices, pleasant vanilla and in fact still surprisingly youthful. On the palate juicy dark berries, good acidity and still round tannin with a beautiful and firm bite. This wine still has a future of several years.

  Mid-Aged Zinfandel and Cali Cab Dinner (Casa Garard - Northfield IL): Lots here... bold black fruit, firm tannins, meaty character, just not quite perfectly harmonious to me, so not as balanced as I'd consider ideal. Still, easy to enjoy. Not certain if/ how/ when this will reach its full potential.

  Chez Garard older Zinfandels and Cali Cabs: Fantastic btl. Pristine condition and our sons birth year. Deep and rich Cab fruit. Brief decant. For an off vintage Randy makes great wines that age. Drink

  Drank over three days. Earth, soil, manure on the nose. Faded blackberry, barnyard funk. With no decant, smelled and tasted extremely earthy. Funk blew off with some air, revealing a medium-bodied, peppery, delightful wine.
