  Drinking very nicely - fully mature, this wine was never a valley floor jam bomb but its balanced with a long spicy clean finish.

  Soft fruit on nose. Palate is strongly blackberry, with significant acidity on the mid and late palate. Very tart and bright compared to some zins. Very clean taste.

  Drank as part of 6 bottle Zinfandel Wine dinner (Limon Turkish rest)
  • 2009 Seghesio (dark. mid—heavy weight zin, dark berry fruit with lots of plum. 88/89 points)
  • 2007 Sky Vineyards Mount Veeder (nice nose of lavender, bright cherry color, looks lightweight. Tasted berries and cherries, had more acid than the other zins. Not everbody liked a zin with acidity, but was very good for me. VG QPR, and close to wine of the night. Everybody will split a case for the price. 91.5 pts)
  • 2002 Sky Vineyards Mount Veeder (initial nose was fantastic, bright and fresh flowers. Taste did not reflect the nose, and with more air it lost its nose and acidity which dropped rating to 86 points.)
  • 2008 Green & Red Vineyards Chiles Canyon Vineyards (dark blue/purple. Strawberry, full mouth, black cherry. much, much rounder and fuller than the Sky which throws one off a bit. 89/90 points)
  • 2009 Green & Red Vineyards Chiles Mill (more complex than the G&R Canyon, better of the two G&R 91points.)
  • 2009 Robert Biale Vineyards Black Chicken (Dark purple, Dark heavy fruit, tea, dried herbs, very good long finish. The wine of the night. 92 points!)

  Big blackberry nose. Palate is more blackberry, pepper and strong acidity that balances it nicely and good tannins.
