Best of the bunch. Wonderful Zin flavors. Big raisins, cherries, a bit of black licorice on the nose.

Better than I expected! The nose was seemed way to overripe, but it tastes purdy good.

Delicious Zin at its apogee. Nose has brambly, zingy blackberry fruit, with loamy earth and milk chocolate notes. Lively, with excellent acidity. Very pure red and black berry fruit in the mouth. Crisp, pure finish. The best of the 4 bottles of this I had, all of which I apparently drank too early!

Ruby color with appealing brambly dark cherry, candied strawberry, cassis, and rose aromas. On the palate it show an elegant harmonious character with well integrated fine tannins and mouth-watering acidity with fresh cherry, tart strawberry, cassis and spice flavors and a lingering spicy finish. 14.5%

A difficult vintage for Sonoma/Napa, but we harvested before the big September rains and everything's clicking right now. Dark fruit, firm tannins and bright acid.

An old vintage (gift from Anne & Mike) to share with family over Christmas pasta dinner. Tannins are well-integrated, fruit is dark like blackberry/cherry cobbler, and acidity is still fresh yet much softer than current vintage.
