Bottle compliments of Ken and CIG’s 30th; opened during Moxie’s soft opening at Alexandra House. Danny is drinking solo as he has been since June (counting the days until cleared to drink again) — and comments include, “it gets better the colder it is; I like French and New Zealand SB more; it doesn’t have the acidity we are used to...” Most importantly, tonight we toast to Josie as we wrap our head around what 22 August will forever mean to us. We have one other bottle; will confirm rating when we both can share the bottle. — 3 years ago
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Fruity nose of black currants, black cherries, blueberries, wood, earth, licorice, vanilla, chocolates, coffee and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, spices, coke, tobacco, chocolates and black pepper.
Tangy finish with fine tannins and tangy cranberries.
This 6 year old Zinfandel is drinking very nicely now. Tasty with mild complexity and a nice mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle and better after 30 minutes of airtime.
This Single Vineyard is peaking now, and will be nice in the next couple of years.
Has high alcohol, but it is nicely integrated by now. Tangy and easy drinking. Interesting and enjoyable.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with a prime rib sandwich, with au jus dressing.
15.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.

Tastes like grapes. Doesn’t smell as inviting but the taste more than makes up for it. Label says dry but generally kind of sweet. Great, subtle, everything you want in a casual glass of wine. — 3 years ago
