One of our favorite zins. Not typical. Very feminine....medium bodied (not overpowering like othe zins)...notes of cedar, forest floor, blackberry, rasin (after 2 hours), clove...nice balance, like caranigne but more structure...stewed berries...very nice wine...I think it is at its peak at this point....will buy Alderbrook again....not a rustic wine...more elegant..

I don't really agree with other reviews. Not much nose and then flavor seemed light. Dry Creek Zins usually have fabulous flavor and depth. this did not for me.

A little light. Didn't have the typical Zin bold taste to it.

Same impression as last time. Big chewy, fruity, spicy Zin. I decanted this time which opened it up nicely. Very good.
