Pulled this oldie out of the back lost corner in the cellar. Expected nothing. Got it out to cook with....Surprised and happy to report that it drank just fine. Nose was musty old barn but pretty light. color still strong and dark, Fun to drink these older wines that really were not meant to age. Nice solid zin even at 15 years.

I just consistently like this wine. The viognier adds great mouthfeel and a little brightness. I always describe is as an elegant zin. But drink now as it seems to be peaking and might start to fade.

Just got it yesterday from the vineyard's wine club... couldn't wait so we had one tonight with burgers (smoked gouda and mushrooms). Delicious and fresh. Took an hour to open up and not enough nose yet. We'll save my other two for 3-4 years (or at least will try). Always a great Zinfandel.

Possibly too early. Extremely tart midpalate. Zero finish. Just not very good at this point. Doesnt appear to have the body to age
