Allow this to open up for a while before drinking and you're in for a real treat. Lots of fruit, great balance, finely structured, a true gem.

Overall, a good buy. Nice fruit and pepper but not overly done in any measure. Moderation in style.

A decent wine, fruit forward and very California with heavy alcohol and not much tannic finish. But nice flavor and holds up to some meats.

2011 vintage. Very thin, surprisingly for the New World zin.
