Surprising amount of stuffing left in this 14-year old bottle, but then California Zins are always super sturdy. Still fruity and tannic, with enough acidity to pair with food (barbecued brisket, in my case). After this much time I had hoped the tannins would be softer but no such luck. Once a big bruiser, always a big bruiser, it seems. Had the 2007 vintage.
