This is a jar of jam! Super fun with big bright fruit, even after 6 years from vintage date! Great with pizza or just a Riedel XL glass. Happy Cali Zin!

Dec 24th, 2014Very jammy and clear cherry flavors. May have let it sit a bit too long. Drank the 2011 vintage from the 2014 shipment in feb 2018. Wish I drank it a year or two sooner. But glad I didn’t wait any longer. fat boy is still a great zin.

Feb 17th, 2018I am not a huge Zin fan, but this impressed. Redolent of an Amarone, it wasn't a jam fest, slap you in the face Zin, but something open to exploration.

What a perfect birthday gift! This is a mouthful of fruit flavors with a punch. I had to buy three bottles right after we drank it because it was that good.

A favorite Zin always. Fresh baked pie with the added interest of spice and earth.
