Decanted and tasted, last tasted nearly 4 years ago, blueberries, pomegranate, plums, graphite, hints of green olives and herbs. Plenty of concentration, nice balance, tannins are fully integrated. This particular bottle has held up well, been in my cellar since release @53degrees and has a few more years of life left. A complex, balanced effort that did well in the cellar!

5% Petit Verdot. 27 months new French oak. Dry Creek is Northern Sonoma known for Zin. Developed nose of carpet and earth, palette initially still young, but then tertiary notes appear. Fruit has some chocolate, some ash, some funk, black dried fruit, pretty interesting. I wouldn't say past it's prime, but drink now and enjoy. Let it open up.

It still had a nice body and the smell was very aromatic.
