'12 vintage, drunk July '15.

Decent fruity Zinfandel nose.

8.5

2010 vintage. Drank Sept 15.

Nice nose. Iron-y at the back.

Meaty, succulent. Medium finish. Pairs well with red meat or roasts.

A very decent wine for guests who know a little about wine. Will purchase again.

8.1

2009 vintage, drank Aug 2015.

Slightly above average, everything. Average and Underwhelming. No complexity. Like a nice enough person you meet at a party whom you don't exchange contacts with.

Will not purchase again.

7.4

09 vintage, drank Sep 15.

A literally meaty tasting wine. Almost like port. Or was the bottle off? Thick, savory, BBQ-like, salty. Short finish. No complexity. Didn't change over 2 days. Which was how long I struggled to finish 1/2 bottle.

Will not purchase again.

8.0

2011 vintage, drank Aug 2015.

Bouquet like a Margaux. Floral.

Tastes weaker than I thought a new world Napa cab sav would. 1 dimensional. Decent, but not above average.

Will not purchase again.
