It's still a lovey wine and not overly fruity like some zins. But it does seem like it has lost a little fruit from when it was. I'd drink any you have soon. I did not notice any excessive alcohol or other issues (like a recent reviewer). I may also be spoiled by the bottle of Estate Reserve I recently finished!

I think I had a corked bottle. It smelled kinda like wine and wet socks or some sort of damp place when I opened it. Then tasting it I could feel surges of heavy Alcoholic headaches punching through my brain. There was little fruit left it felt like the bottle was still fermenting.

Smelled like wet socks, might have been corked. The Alcohol was really apparent and strong bashing into the brain. Notes of fruit but not much left. I think the bottle was still fermenting.

A restrained zin, but still plenty of currant fruit and pepper notes. Not lacking character at all, this is light handed and quite pretty - a style of zin that's catching my attention lately.

Lots of cherry flavor with really good structure, not overly forward. One of the best balanced zinfandels I have had.
