Lots of leather and dried cherries in this one, almost like making out with a biker chick with cherry lipstick 😁 — 6 years ago
Decided on a whim to open a big-boy cab tonight and reached for a bottle of 2012 Mark Herold Brown Label. At 15.3% alcohol this is indeed a huge wine, but I love it. Visited his tasting room in downtown Napa last year and was treated to a fabulous and fun tasting at his biker bar themed place. This wine is chocked full of crème de cassis, blackberry, and espresso flavors with a long gorgeous finish. It's 100% Cabernet. — 9 years ago
A lot of fun, especially if you take the cartoon biker on its label as its credo. Natural wine with chewy, fine grained &feral palate. Fills out to a more medium body of wild raspberries & blackberries, violets, & rose hips. , Some serious winemaking to back up the biker creed. — 2 years ago
This is the kind of zin I enjoy. Nice fruit and not too tannic. — 6 years ago
Still one of my favorites from Paso Robles area. Big Zin from a fun biker themed bar. — 9 years ago
My four year old insisted on smelling this Cab too and after several wiffs exclaimed :"Erdbeer!", Took another sniff and beamed: "bwackbewy!". Quite insightful.
I'd elaborate that it does indeed showcase those wonderous California ctrl coast big red and black fruit notes, with smooth tannins and madeirized cherry juice/red apple traces. — 8 years ago

Label has some style. And catches the eye. Bit of an aged version of CA Zin, but that can work. Deeper rusty, maroon color than some Paso Robles Zin I’ve had. Smells a bit more herbal and dank than fruity and jammy. Flavors are big, bodacious and brawny. Hints of the blending other reds in the mix. Chewy. Hint of that grape jelly in a campfire flavor of some Zins in the finish. This should pair well with a steak and grilled veggies. It’s a nice, well produced classic. Kinda like the biker on the bottle. — 8 days ago
