  Medium ruby (surprising) color with pink meniscus to the edge. Medium intensity nose with a mix of dark red and black fruits. Oak is present, but well integrated after 14 years of age. Minimal tertiary notes for me on this bottle. The palate was supple with tannin and acidity in perfect balance. The darker fruit was more pronounced and present but again in harmony with the other elements. This is an outstanding wine. It could go longer if you're searching out more tertiary flavors, but I very much enjoyed this wine today.

  PnP. No detailed notes. Love good Zins with some age. In a great place now.

  Six months ago a sister bottle exhibited distinct, strong acid throughout and overall distinctly unpleasant. This bottle was showed pleasingly better. Cranberry marked its color and some of the nose along with rhubarb and molasses. In a unoffensive, compliant way, the attack tracked the nose. ... and then it was gone. Linear, shallow and forgotten. A blend of Zinfandel (79%) and Petit Sirah (21%). 14.9% alc. Some sediment. With Shack attack (beef) burgers with PM while DD is out of town. Recommended with reservations.
