Color of grayish purple, quite clear with a bit orange note. Nose is balanced fragrance with dried strawberry, spice, tobacco leaves, cured meat, and more sweet berries. Taste is light, and follows the nose, right amount of acidity and tannins, zest, just a bit sweetness shows her subtlety, more cured meaty note dancing with the berry note. Aftertaste shows backbone of tannins, medium long with savory spice, acidity and sweetness. Pretty good. — 7 years ago

Nice dark red color. Aromas of blackberries, hickory smoked wood and fresh cracked pepper. Full flavors of dark fruits, nice structure. Went amazing with a pizza- pepperoni, prosciutto, sausage and kalamata Olives. — 8 years ago

Deep ruby color; blackberry, black cherry, and a hint of green peppercorn on the nose; high acidity, mild tannins; tastes like black plum sauce, black cherries, and a hint of graphite with a long fruity finish. Nellie said it's not bad — 3 years ago

WOTN - I was impressed - besides always being a crowd pleaser this wine always acts like the postman and always delivers

1 hour decant - was not planning to open but we drank the other bottles like thirsty sailors after 90 days on the boat - color has not changed - the smell has gotten even better - the finish was spot on and the taste was impeccable- remarkable- memorable- a true stunner - blue fruits dancing with black and reds fruits - tobacco cassis sweetness from caramel- tamed but striking how this baby keeps growing - drink now if you want but I will not try again for 5 years or more - this Napa cult classic will last 10 years plus and seems to find a way to get better - bravo — 6 years ago

Beautiful poise. Light and refined. Soft lemon. Rock pools, minerality, a hint of corn and yellow flowers. Intense but light and dancing on the palate. Great balance and long. Powerful but still subtle. — 2 years ago

Light amber with a bouquet of stone fruits with citrus notes and yeasty tones. Plenty of bubbles dancing in the flute. Crisp and fresh, mineral, white flesh fruit, citrus well balanced with acidity. Lingering finish with zesty ending. Nice Grand Cru. Tasting Sample. — 6 years ago

A restrained nose with some camphor, pencil lead, and dried oregano....the palate jumps up with dark, muddled fruit, white pepper, and a kirsch liquor dancing in the background....moderate tannins show up with the slowly evolving finish...these a raf zins rarely disappoint.... — 7 years ago
