Incredible zinfandel—really threw me for a loop blind. Amarena cherry, kirsch and cola. Agree that it’s quite meaty for a zin. Scrumptious. — 7 months ago

2018 vintage. Owned by Roger Zannier. Vinified by João Cabral Nicolau de Almeida. Dark red with purplish rim. Intense nose with blackberry jam, amarena cherries and subtle oak. Powerful, but fresh , with layers of black fruit packed in a ripe tannic structure. Long spicy finish. Abv. 13,5%. — 3 years ago

Black candied amarena cherries dipped in melted bitterchocolate. Wow…
Complex nuances of asphalt, damp earth, soy sauce and oriental spice. Open and generous, wonderful freshness and purity. Not alcoholic at all, this is an extremely well-crafted and beautiful Port wine. 😍 — 3 years ago

Absurd value from @wtso
Pnp let sat for an hour or so, initially very jammy but that blew off.
N: Dark red fruits verging on black, Amarena cherries, tobacco, earth, iron.
P: That sense of iron repeats, virtually no tannins, Sense of place, yes.
As another reviewer said, you could drink this down easy.
We’re still looking for complexity though. — 4 years ago

Brick rim and super pale transparent salmon color. Some pink and purple floral aromatics on the nose, a little funk but not overpowering or off putting whatsoever.
Great acidity, balanced alcohol, very smooth and light tannin that linger to deliver a peppery finish. Overall complex and delicate on the palate with amarena cherry flavor and some artificial pink candy like hubba bubba or cotton candy saltwater taffy. Really desirable minerality similar to the whites I’ve tried from this region. i don’t think you need to chill this before drinking. Would definitely recommend and I’d buy it again for $20 in that 90-92 range for me. — 9 months ago

1989. Somehow this estate remains a bit under the radar, but the wines are very reliable and age beautifully. Amarena cherries, rose petals, cedar and a hint of trufle. Velvety mouthfeel with elegance and depth and a long finish. Excellent. — 3 years ago

Tremendous length. It was flying high 8 hours into the decant. Amarena cherries and asphalt. — 3 years ago

Medium garnet coloration. On the nose, amarena cherry and vanilla. On the palate, medium to full body, cherry, balsamic, herbs, red berry and vanilla. Tannins still strong. Medium to long finish. — 2 years ago

1985 vintage. From a bottle with a perfect level. Deep colour still. Showing much younger than its age, the nose still features a lot of black fruit, mixed with spices and cedar wood. Concentrated layers of blackberries, amarena cherries, dark chocolate and spices in a powerful, yet elegant ripe tannic structure balanced by fresh acidity. Very long lingering finish. Excellent, but no hurry to drink this already, no signs of fatigue. — 3 years ago

Cold climate burgundy from far north Irancy. Quiet but very fresh on first taste, strong roses and violets. Day two acid mellowed and gave way to amarena cherries. Great value if you’ve got the time to let her breathe! — 3 years ago
