At Jack Fry’s in Louisville, challenged to pair wine with salmon, pork, and gnocchi. This worked well. “Soft” according to one friend. — 5 days ago

Bobby Dean Parker said it pretty well in 1996: . . The 1994 Zinfandel Grandpere Vineyard offers an opaque purple color that resembles black ink. A fabulous nose of old vine black-cherries, black-raspberries, earth, licorice, and pepper is an attention-grabber. This is an unctuously-textured, low acid, extremely rich, ripe, dry Zinfandel that coats the mouth with amazing flavor extraction as well as silky richness. The finish lasts for 40-45 seconds. If readers admire huge, rich, yet well-balanced Zinfandels, these wines represent a tour de force in winemaking. And it is still knocking socks off today (my words) . . In the company of a few Martinelli jack ass hill and Giuseppe and Louisa bottlings, some occasional Ridge bottlings, these are perhaps the best examples of that varietal I have tasted in my 50 years of drinking them . .  kudos to Scott Harvey for creating these legends and if you happen to find some well stored bottles do not hesitate to snatch them up as they will provide fabulous drinking probably for another 20 years to come — 5 years ago

I bought this years ago for my dad since its “made” in San Carlos. He told me he liked his Jack Daniel’s better… Given dad’s gone and mom doesn’t drink bourbon I’m drinking it now and enjoying it! It’s got some power, mainly on the front of tongue/lips. Finish goes for a while and the flavors are nice. Light wood and sweetness. Cheers Dad! Btw the price on this thing now (not at all what I paid) would have sent him through the roof. — 8 months ago

Big and inky Barossa heaps of fruit and oak but not overpowering like some from the region. Had 2012 in 2021 but would not lose anything with another 5-10 years careful cellaring. — 5 years ago

I’ve waited years to open this. It was well worth the wait. Rich with fruity black cherry, currants, plum and smokey oak, coffee and chocolates. In addition, there is a lovely hint of citrus (perhaps, a sweet residue of liqueur from the French Oak barrels). Perfect celebration in a time of uncertainty.
Happy Easter! Peace & Blessings! — 6 years ago
