Well balanced, no tanin, berries cassis, bergamot, mineral, no earthiness, light bouquet; seems like aging will not improve more, and may loose fruit; fruit fades some after 30 minutes in glass.

I agree with ebrumby. This wine did not deliver the quality of 2004 or 2005 that got me hooked on Sausal Zins. Wine quality rating: B-. Value: C- ($30 / bottle plus shipping to the east coast). Overall rating: C+

Lost most of its fruit, kept too long.

Drank New Years Eve 2009. Last wine of the night and only remember it being too hot for even my drunken palate.

I love Sausal wines, but this effort left me wanting more. Too light without great flavors--though nothing about it was off putting.
