This wine almost brought tears to my eyes. I have given up on Zin because they are just big alcohol bombs and all of the fruit is lost in the process. Steve has taken HIS approach on this young fruit. This is elegant and sexy. The fruit comes first along with some beautiful minerality. This is how Zin should be made. I’m back in the Zin world thanks to this winner. It is young and I’m excited to see what unfurl in the future — 6 years ago

My introduction to and one of my favorite St. Estephe.  at first blush is incredibly tight, tannins coat your entire younger, this wine is just tighter than a three legged cat in a dog pound. Give it a good hour or so in then tannins fade, it’s like it’s enough good structure to be able to enjoy the wine but you get wonderful flavors of fresh rose and chewing on green herbs that go into beef Bourgogne and all of that fun stuff. The tannins fade into velvet, not Lou Reed in the velvet underground, but an iron fist with a velvet glove. There’s a solidity behind it that smacks you in the face with delicious plum and green herb and just floral flavors that would make Monet slap himself in jealousy. Drinking this wine after giving it time to decant makes you realize that you actually have lost that loving feeling and need to drink more wine. — 4 years ago

Was sad to find this old dog is tired. It’s lost all its texture and nice savory elements. What remains is smooth stewed fruit. Drink up. — 5 years ago
