My buddy, Ash, gave me this many yes ago & suggested i hold it til 2008. I never listened to him (except he did turn me on to Zichichi wines...). Can kind of see the amount of sediment this had - like a pound of soil in the bottle! Still had great, chocolate, anise, black cherry tones & great lasting finish. If you have one of these - keep it for a few more yes! So far beyond my expectations! — a year ago

This gem from Zichichi vineyards in Sonoma never disappoints. Full and flavorful with a rich mouth feel. Everything from this old vine estate is sure to please. Try the old vine Zinfandel or the garage red too! — 7 years ago
Interesting wine. Not the big bold wine Z normally puts out. Rather calm and smooth, actually. Very elegant. Tobacco, dark fruits, not jammy, hint of oak that will get richer over time. I expected big fruit, but was rewarded with subtle smoothness. — 7 years ago
From the wife’s stash. Surprisingly solid! Medium red color with slightly brown edges. Nose is lovely and more of a red blend than cab. The age really refined this and Bordeaux like flavors were pertinent. Lacked some depth and finish was medium minus, but I really enjoyed it! — a year ago
Really great, well balanced wine. Velvety, deep red fruits. Gentle tannin finish. — 2 years ago
Nice Petite! BBQ ribs were the perfect accompaniment. Opened up into a luscious wine. — 7 years ago

Surprisingly big, bold & fruitful! 15yrs old, but not a snide teenager - full of body & balanced chewy leather/cocoa. Zichichi is a great value! — 2 months ago
