Incredible stuff, purchased this from winery, always enjoyed their Zin and they have some compelling single vineyard offerings: this is from their oldest vineyard planted in 1880s: inky deep dark completely opaque, looks like current vintage, after several hours it pried loose gorgeous blue & black fruit, vanilla, beef jerky, hoisin sauce, forest, white pepper, smoke, dried herbs… just unbelievable depth & complexity. Huge on palate, muscular firm grippy tannins, so much blue & black berry fruit, liqueur-like, great earthy peppery elements alongside fruit. Smooth rich lingering finish. Forgot how much we paid, but this over delivered and has a LONG life ahead. — 15 days ago

I decanted knowing this was way too young. But found it balanced and drinking well. As usual, I suspect depth and character will develop with patience. 375ml. — 4 days ago

Now this is more like it! Overripe berries, roast-y but still light, maybe caramel? Dry and juicy at the same time. 🍷 — 7 days ago

Dug around on the wine rack at the state store and found this beauty. Maybe a little past its prime, but really smooth and delicious. — a day ago

Wow. Amazingly wonderful- still - at 17 years young. Tannins and fruits still doing their jobs in harmony. An excellent example of this varietal -done by this legendary producer. — 14 days ago

My FAVORITE region. . . Rockpile Zin still one of the best. Dark berries, must, chalk, very faint licorice on the nose. Some pepper on the mid palate. — 12 days ago
