2002 vintage has great fruit, and is full bodied and rich. Scored properly, so it is still really good at 17 years. See honey? This is why we spent so much on that wine fridge. — 6 years ago

I wish I could remember how we got this wine, because I really enjoyed it and would buy it again. We drank it with a tangy chicken piccata that I must admit came from Plated.com. Don't judge me. Both were great. — 8 years ago

We bought a few bottles in Burgundy and had to taste one. Drinking nicely now; I imagine it will be even better in a few more years. — 7 years ago

Smooth blend of Douro varietals Touriga Franca, Touriga National, and Tinta Roriz. Very fruity with balanced oak. Really like this one, maybe because the grapes are unusual for a California girl. — 8 years ago

9.0

This is a wine to be enjoyed any way you like. For example, on a Friday night after a busy week when you only have energy for pizza in front of the TV. A very approachable old vine Zin sourced from various California regions. It will make you feel human again. And it pairs well with pizza. — 7 years ago

Bought this lovely rose at Costco for under $20. A refreshing sipper on a hot summer night. True to the Syrah profile. Light and dry. Fruity but not sweet. — 8 years ago
