Structure is fully resolved and you are left with pure zin fruit and spice. Beautifully aged old-vine zin. Sadly Silver Oak acquired this vineyard in 2012 and ripped out the old vines to plant more Cab Sauv for their Alexander Valley bottling. Hideous label, though.

Blackberry, alc nose. A bit metallic but with nice spiced resolution. Easily satisfied the zin urge!

Nutty, raspberry brush nose. A bit green although with well rounded, spiced finish.

Was able to pick this one up recently for close to release price. Still all there 20 years later.

Really nice wine. Shows what Napa old vine Zinfandel can be. Too bad they changed hands since then.
