Massive zin. Smooth, rounded, good structure and complexity. Drinking very well now, but would not be afraid to cellar for another 2-3 years. This is very good w/o food.

I liked this but did not love. Overwhelming fruit at first. It does mellow after about 30 minutes when at least some spice and complexity show up. A good wine if you love a ton of fruit up front tempered with some back end spice then a short lived plum finish.

Beautiful old vine zin. Jammy, smooth and rounded mouth feel. The wine wasn't 'hot' as most TJ wines are.

Good balance with nice fruit and some spice and smoke. Very alc-forward initially but that faded after awhile.
