Maybe a bit more age than you might normally do for this, but I kind of forgot it on the rack. Hint of a rust edge on the ruby red color. Smells like old books, and preserved sweet black cherries. Maybe a hint of cola. Still Coke after it’s lost the carbonation. Flavors are very aged wine. Leather and more cola. Maybe a hint of Dr. Pepper. Still holds an acid streak and plenty of drying tannins to finish. Like bit of baked goods. Like good pastry with a blackberry cream center. This is interesting stuff. Great with food including fresh heirloom tomatoes both raw and cooked. Just a bit over aged. I’ll have to return to Viano for a younger bottle. — 2 months ago

Yup it is pink. True blush. Smells a bit like candles. Like a a rose and fruit candle. Flavors are great. Crisp, but full feeling and bright. Orange zest meets strawberry lemonade. It’s a really well made Rosé. One to have on the fancy rosé day. — 2 years ago

Deep red brick color. Smells just a hint like some fruity vinegar. Flavors are complex and zippy. Juicy. A tad more going on than the Viano private stock Zin. Classic Contra Costa County old vine Zin. — 4 years ago

An aged (sorta) Petite.! Dark like black cherry and plum skins. Smells like barns, garages and sheds mixed with jammed black and red fruits. Maybe just a tiny hint of turpentine or eucalyptus oil. Flavors are big and tannic as one would expect from CA Petite Sirah. Hint of mountain berries. Some ‘mountain misery’ maybe too. Hearty, deep and full. Seems unfazed by the 6 years aging lol. This is a big boy wine for those who like to feel wines on their front teeth and have a coated tongue. But it’s flavorful and complex too. Pretty classic CA P.S. Well done. — 2 years ago

Lovely in the glass. Red with a blush of plum. Nose is very interesting. Hint of funk. Zinjammy, and smoky. Little bit of mineral oil or linseed oil. Flavor is spectacular. Pure fruit. Tastes very true to the varietal. Pretty tart. Plenty of tannin too. For an under $10 Coastal style Zin, this is a steal. — 6 years ago
