This is a spectacular Zinfandel, it is in its prime right now. Wonderful red fruit and black fruit on the palate. Small amount of oak showing on the back end with a nice minerality to go along with it. This is really a spectacular wine and an amazing vintage for this wine. I look forward to seeing how my other Pacini OVZ’s turn out at 10 years old. Drink now at this age!

Beautiful 9 year old zin out of 375 ml. Dense rich textures. Long fruit mid-palate through the finish. Holding well.

Great wine at my sister-in-law's place. Obama is visiting for two weeks here too a few blocks from here, so some traffic issues. Beautiful place! Kailua, HI.

Very nice spicy herbal flavour. Not too strong, but a big taste. An enjoyable finish.
