Color: medium ruby/garnet
Nose: Blackberry, boysenberry, sweet cherry, pomegranate, mint; medium intensity
Palate: Blackberry jam, raisins, prunes; fruity! medium to low tannins; high acidity but tamed by all the fruits.
This is a classic California Zin fruit bomb without the heaviness. The rating is based on my personal preference for fruity wines.  — 3 days ago

Initially gripping tannins, after two hours of decanting, it drastically changed and softened to allow fruit to come through. Nose: cigar, dark dried cocoa powder, espresso, blackberry black currant, prunes, leather, complex flavors; this wine is excellent. — a year ago

Everything is mild except the tannins. No fruit on the nose. Aromas of a savory soy sauce, foie gras, vegetables mirepoix, with a little bit of pepper, duck fat. — a year ago

What a treat ! Beautiful structure, even at 20 years old. Still a yellow lemon color, not at all showing its age. Tiny and vibrant bubbles. Pastries, biscuits on the nose, beautiful rounded mouth-feel barely a hint of age. Never disappoints. Thanks Acquis, received in July 2015. Opening for a special occasion. — 7 months ago

Pale yellow, light aromas of Asian pear,  geranium, medium acidity, light and short finish, refreshing. This wine was blended specifically for sushi and it succeeded! Great value. — a year ago

After 20 years, it still took extensive decanting to soften the initially gripping tannins. Once it did, beautiful dark fruits came through. Black currants, stewed prunes, delicious and full on the palate. Outstanding. Paired well with Brie and beef chow fun!!  — 7 months ago

Incredible. Deep ruby with a little light on the edge to show its age. Cassis, black currant and blackberry, hint of smoke, cigar, slate and earth. Gripping tannins at first. Aerate for five minutes to smooth it out. Medium body and finish. Big but easy to drink. This can go for another ten years. Oh man. What an amazing treat. Thanks David. — a year ago
