My last bottle of this vintage and I was concerned that it might be corked. But to my pleasant surprise it was very nice for a 17 year old Petite Sirah. A little smoky at first but then it opened up and was delicious. Retained primary fruit on the pallet but not on the nose. Very light tannins with small amounts of sediment in the glass but quite a bit on the bottle neck. Paired perfectly with rotisserie lamb. — a year ago
Dark ruby with bold, intense juicy dark cherries, blackberries, plums, spice and oak on the nose. Medium body and medium tannins that give room to a nice acidity. Cherry pie, dark berry jam, tobacco, bayleaf and clove on the palate lead to a beautiful medium long finish with notes of caramel. Beautiful wine with complex notes that keeps evolving as it decants. — 3 years ago

Prob didn’t need to have this btl at the end of the night, but it had a great, sweet richness. Lots of vanilla bean, soft chocolate finesse. What a treat - especially after having a 2017 Imposter early in the nite! Thx Jeff Cohn. — 4 years ago
I’m getting citrus and fruity notes from this one. I am surprised I like this. It has a light body and is easy to drink. Yay — a year ago
1hr+ decant. Dark red color with crimson edges. Almost identical to my previous bottle. Massive floral nose with dark cherries on the palate. Deep, complex wine. Medium plus finish. Reminds me of Domaine Tempier Bandol but more fruit and less earth. Really enjoyed this! — 2 years ago
Although it’s rated very dry, it has a very delightful sweetness to its strong taste. Awesome Shiraz. — 3 years ago

Thought it was interesting but never thought this old Zin from Sonoma was going to blow my mind. So much better than what I expected. — a month ago
