So strange and unlike anything else. Underripe mango, lemon, honeydew, apple, and kiwi, with kerosene, pine needles, grandma’s closet, and wet concrete. A challenging wine... some people at the table couldn’t get behind it, but I loved it. Wonderful complexity. — 5 years ago

One of my all time favorite Zin producers!!! Big strawberry nose, with cedar closet and new leather. Blueberry emerges on the palate. Spherical. Perfect body, tannins. A truly beautiful wine.

Nose has dehydrated cherry, fresh raspberry, slightly smokey oak, old cedar closet, dried strawberry, over wintered mint, dried eucalyptus and dried blackberry.

Palate has delicate cherry + raspberry, semi-dried blueberry, fresh strawberry, cedar sawdust with still notable tannins.

Being hesitant, we only decanted about 20m before dinner, needs much more time in the decanter/glass, as after an hour it's finally starting to show it's worth. — 6 years ago

A successful bull in a China closet; Big and powerful with a lot going on… But graceful at the same time. It will likely develop more depth over a few years, though it’s delicious now. — 4 years ago

Quite pleasant with Pat’s steak ($75). Not sure how long it would cellar in SoCal closet, so glad we drank it now. — 5 years ago

We had left this bottle in a closet for 18 months, and when we found it and uncorked it, we discovered that the Sonoma influence had grown. The blackberry and cherry flavors had deepened, along with greater acidity. It is drinking beautifully, especially with sharp cheese. — 6 years ago
