I mis-identifed this as a Napa cabernet blend but it's straight zinfandel.
On the nose is vanilla and spice, stewed and dried fruit, a great use of American oak.
There is a wonderful suppleness, elegance on the tongue and a balance of acidity without tannins that clearly distinguishes it from cabernets. I would have never called myself a fan of Zinfandel but if they were all like this one...

Amazing. Not dense or sickly sweet. Just right. — 5 years ago
First leaf. Fruity but not too sweet. Not much spice. Would pair well with a spicy dish. Would drink again. — 8 years ago

Oscar night...had to pick something from the back of the cellar. Double decant and pour(decent chunky sediment). From the 2000 vintage which was cool with rain and not scored well, but there are probably some overlooked gems and this could be included. A stellar dark ruby red with some browning. On the nose: that aged cab sweet perfume with roasted meat, chocolate, black cherry, forest floor, eucalyptus. Taste: lush mouthfeel with red plum, chocolate coffee, minerals, and a vanilla cedar medium finish. — 6 years ago

Such a huge fan of this winery. Uncut grass, a clean barn, white flowers, honeysuckle. On the palate, medium-light, brine. Well made. Rustic yet fresh. — 8 years ago

It feels really nice to be back home with my pretty little wife. Brandon is good company, but he's not much of a kisser.
This wine is light and lively, though inky dark purple. Strawberry aromatics, strawberry and plum flavors. A little fizzy sensation on the tongue.
Listening to Oscar Peterson's original trio. — a month ago
