Awesome Zin here! Very fruit forward, strawberry and currant nose. Strawberry jam, low acidity smooth finish. Great price too! #sainivineyards #zinfadel — 10 years ago
Deep plum glass with translucent violet rim. On the nose, black cherry, plum, blackberry, licorice, cedar and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, this medium bodied zin brings a mild acid of black fruits, black pepper, dark cocoa, smoke and oak. Tiny tannins lead to a smooth, medium long finish of cocoa and black pepper. Good balance and structure make this a good everyday value at $14.98 USD, Less tannic grip makes this a conversation sipper rather than a red meat buddy. — 10 years ago
Wonderful Zinfadel. You can taste the Orin Swift roots. A little jammy on the front but wonderful finish. — a year ago

Zinfadel elegante. Excelente. — 8 years ago
Real wine. Violets, koi pond, plum bread, dried raspberries in a Sumatran coffee and gunpowder tea bran muffin. Shoe leather in clear polish. Wound up a little tightly as it was just opened, the palate receives a heaping spoonful of coal and banana leaf, with iron pellets. You can see the shadow of the panther in this one! Pure muscle. Cracked pepper, smooth, flat black stones; dried violets, tar, squid ink and flame-touched hemp. Not your typical Zin fare, this one elevates the cultivation to an art form. 80 year old vines strumming archaic, wooden energies into the glass. Remember this is Zin, which is the neon calling card of the wine arcade, then find yourself called to a state of bliss. #zinfomaniacs #zintastic #zincredible #zin #bedrock #bedrockwineco #oldvinesyounglove #oldvine #oldvines #oldvinezin #zinfandel #zinfadel #caliclassic — 9 years ago

Comforting big Zinfadel - spicy, vanilla, ripe red fruit and a zesty finish, all on a full body from start to finish. Bravo! — 11 years ago
Love love this wine. Perfect blend of spice and berries. This is what I compare other zins to. — 7 years ago
Zinfadel at R&R — 9 years ago
This is a great value Zin that makes me realise I don't drink enough of the stuff. There's an immediate hit of vanilla on the nose, though not overpowering, followed by coffee and spices. On the palate, the balance between acidity and ripe fruit is impeccable and exemplary of a truly well-crafted Zinfandel. This is a grape that's hard to master, and Rodney's nailed it here. The finish is long, preceded by sumptuous notes of toffee, orange zest and cocoa. At four years of age, the tannins are performing exceptionally (I write this on the second day of opening) and, though I wouldn't say this is one for the cellar, it's a wine that is very enjoyable now.
Also worthy of note is that, last night, I drank this from a Riedel Veritas Cabernet/Merlot glass, and tonight from a Riesling/Zinfandel glass from the same range. Credit to Riedel: the wine is showing immeasurably better tonight, from a glass whose aperture is far tighter; the influence on the wine is unquestionable. #california #californiaclassic #zintastic #zinfadel #zincredible #redwine #sonomaorbust #sonoma @riedel — 10 years ago
Big wine, beautiful label, great representation of a Paso wine. Balanced, hint of oak, fruit forward, clean finish. — 10 years ago

A good Zin. Not big and bold. Drinkable, but missing some of the Zinfandel qualities. — 20 days ago
