I agree very much with the first two gentlemen. I just opened this wine, which I've had in my cellar for 5 years. Delightful, simply delightful - not your usual zin and far better than I expected. My tortellinis in home made marinara sauce will be extra enjoyable this evening.

Picked three of these up at Wine Exchange. The first bottle was hot oak, as well as this one a year later, even with several hours decanting. My expectations were higher, considering the Oakville Winery Cabernet bottles, also 2007 vintage, that I picked up at Costco were stellar. Personal tastes vary, but there was a problem with both bottles that air time couldn't improve. Too many bad bottles from there over the years.

This is an excellent Zinfandel. It takes like Zinfandel but without the syrupy character you usually encounter.

Deftly executed, textbook Zin without being overly oaky or syrupy.

Can't get past the mouth searing heat. Terrible. This has completely fallen apart in the past 2 years.
