Between 91-92. Big, dense, peppery, and fun for a not a usually Zin guy. Has boysenberry, blueberry, soy, and funk. Pretty good balance if you don’t consider the fruit. 😉 — a year ago

Gotta be the perfect example of a winter wine. A broth of baking spices. Not the most focused zin but it’s a good sipper by a fire. 91-92 — 8 years ago

91-92. A zin worth seeking out. I think this and the reserve zin (engraved 💀on the bottle) are the 2 best zins at armida, but this has the best value. — 9 years ago

We enjoyed the wine. Not too sweet and heavy. It went well with both our meal and the scenery. — 10 years ago

Tasted alongside '91 Geyserville. Blends are pretty different - this is Zin, Carignane, Grenache. The Geyserville is heavy on Petite Sirah. The acidity on this was refreshing and a better match with the Larosa's pizza. — 12 years ago

I’m between 91-92 here. Wonderful summer pairing next to the Supernova bubbles!

87zin/13petite sirah. This has everything you want in a Zinfandel but dialed back with class. I’m shocked there is this much PS because even at 11yrs, it’s not overly dark/chocolate driven/black pepper spiced. Seductive aromatics of violets, black cherry, mixed berry pie. Great acidity for a Zinfandel. Cedar, spiced red and black berry fruits. Drinking at peak. If you love elegant zin, you’re hard pressed to find a better one. A perfect wine for our TX bbq. — 3 years ago

My favourite Zin for sure! 17 months in French oak domination, 6% Mourvedre and 2% Syrah. Blueberry, sweet spices on the nose also some pepper, medium intensity. Ruby color, slow tears along. Mefium plus bodied, dry, medium acidity, medium plus alcohol, medium plus complexity, medium plus finish. 91 points MF.

I am just not a Zin guy. The wine is nice though. Wine Spectator ‘18 Top 100 with 91 Pts. — 8 years ago

Not a very Zin like Zin but a really well made wine in a more grenache style. Strawberry candy and pepper on the nose and palate, excited to try this with barbacoa. 91+ drinking in its wheelhouse and will be great for another 2 years. — 8 years ago

By the second sip, I was in love. A really nice Zin with lots of character. Doesn't need food at all but I would feel comfortable bringing this to any dinner. Will buy again. — 9 years ago

Just lovely: fruit cake, mocha, chilled out tannins, and a little dust. For a '91 50% zin this is showing and drinking beautifully. And who says well made zin can't age?! — 10 years ago
