  Four years has passed since last popping open one of these bad boys. While the color is no longer primary, it nevertheless retains a deep purple core and burgundy rim. Rhubarb gets the jump on the attack, but ripe plum is just behind it along with sweet vanilla and Zin funkiness. The finish is all coffee, toffee and mocha. As stunningly good as this is, I almost wish I’d pulled a Geyersville to compare with it instead of the ‘06 Pagani (which was blown away by the Paso Robles. 100% Zinfandel. 14.5% alc. Some heavy sediment being thrown off just now. With Rodney Young, Mandi Smith and DDB over smoked beef brisket. Recommended.

  A big wine. Cranberry sauce. Just too jammy for me.

  This wine has held up very well. Nose of macerated fresh dark cherries, green herbal spices, a bit of vanilla and stone. Tastes of concentrated ripe berry fruit and dark cherries, bursting with sweet and tart flavors, neither jammy nor overripe. It is balanced by very smooth tannins and light minerality, producing a long dry finish with a bit of black pepper. Quite a luscious zin with no hint of oxidization (even at 8 years old). I am going to have a hard time waiting to finish the remaining half of this bottle until tomorrow. My score is at the high end of the distribution, but I think this is an exceptionally tasty zin.
