Randomly ran across this wine at a liquor store with no price tag. It was originally released in 2011 for $45. I offered the guy $15, considering it'd been stored upright for the last 3 years. He accepted.
Typical forrest floor, cola, strawberry nose. Tart cherries, cranberries, and dirt on the palate. I am very happy.

This wine brings the elegance and restraint that is sorely missing from so many Napa Valley Zins. Went great with my spaghetti and sausage. See my video tasting of it at StayRadWineBlog.com. — 10 years ago

Gold color. Roasted apples on the nose. Subtle vanilla and cream oak notes on the palate. Green apple fruit brings good acidity, which, in turn, provides great balance. A great Chardonnay. — 10 years ago
