Killer vineyard. This bottle was pretty sulfur-y at first but it blew off after an aggressive decanting. After that it opened up into a pretty, light Zin. — 7 years ago

Sour cherry, graphite, and spice. Really lovely. Definitely showing it’s age, but still holding up. — 7 years ago
Honestly, this is one of the great American wines. Honeyed, yet ultra-fresh and bright. Just a kiss of waxy lanolin, but without a hint of being cloying. A real benchmark of American Chenin. — 9 years ago

Very pleasant surprise! I acquired some of these awhile back in some mixed cases and I wasn’t holding my breath due to the previous owner’s questionable storage. Gently decanted and this showed to be a really pretty, yet lush Zinfandel with some energy still left to spare. — 7 years ago
