This is 3 years past its prime, but it still has a nice Zin like taste. Not quite as rich as 7 Deadly Zins. If I were to base my drinking on smell alone, I would've thrown it out.

Some fruit on the nose but very light, almost watery, palate.Definitely would not have picked this out as a zin. Can't imagine this developing further.

I tasted the wine right after opening the bottle and it had a metallic taste. I decanted the wine for about 20 minutes and it started to transform with lots of fruit and a very smooth finish. Try this with the next bottle. I bought a case after I decanted the second bottle and had the same very nive result.

We received our Meeker tribe shipment and was excited for the new 11th rack. Have to say, so far not impressed. Metallic taste upfront then very flat. Granted, its only 3 weeks in the bottle so I'll give it some time but this wine is usually our mainstain "house Red". Just not there yet. Expected to buy a case when I was at the winery yesterday, but holding off to see how it develops.
