This wine has been scored well by other reviewers but needs a bit more love as with most zins. More complexity here than I expected going in and the wine benefited from a couple hours of decanting. Air Guitar and Pinot Noir nailed it four years ago as this is presently showing beautifully. Dense purple color and inviting nose of blackberry, sage, cherry orchard, black licorice. Full bodied with dark fruit (Berry preserves), cassis, pepper, and toasted oak. Medium acidity, long finish. Felt like good value here and I’ll enjoy my last bottle in a year or two.

Drank in Waimea. The missus recognize this is a Zin she hasn't tried before. She liked it very much. Very full bodied with Rich dark blue and purple fruit. Relatively smooth but could stand on its own. Will probably keep my eye out for current offers.

Pleasant full bodied rich zin, Turley/Bedrock like. Still has a few years to go.

A somewhat pedestrian wine, simple in structure, a bit "grapey" perhaps. A great choice for pop n'pour night!
