Smoky and jammy all at once. Rich but accessible. Sustainably grown. Brilliant everyday drinker, but holds its own with fancier Zins. — 9 years ago

Quite nice. Even overshadowed the Veuve Clicquot Brut that we opened prior. Fantastic way to ring in the new year! — 9 years ago

Saw this in the Ralph's bargain bin alongside some 2010 Santa Lucia Highlands pinot, which I took all of. Grabbed this to try, as I liked the look of the blend. A little rough around the edges right out of the bottle, but piles of promise once aerated. Grabbing the last 5 bottles tomorrow for the cellar and well see how it develops over the next couple of years. Right now: bold tannins, spicy zin tones and a smooth lasting finish. — 9 years ago

Another one from the library. We grabbed a case of this from Bridlewood when they were blowing it out years ago. Lush and jammy, almost like a port today. — 9 years ago

Very fruit-forward, smooth finish for a Merlot blend. — 9 years ago

A little on the old side now. Probably due to non ideal storage. Aeration helps. — 9 years ago

Very young. This'll do nicely with some cellaring. A little rough around the edges right now, but lots of promise. — 9 years ago

Pulled something from deep in the library tonight. Massive cherry-bomb, fruit-forward powerhouse. Went well with our leftover Napa Rose Filet Mignon. — 9 years ago

Cerebrating the start of the Christmas vacation with some bubbles! Picked this up from Chronic two weekends ago. A little sweet for our usual tastes, but paired well with some cheese fondue. — 9 years ago
