Stunning Zin. Fresh, vibrant and packed with loamy minerals, silky tannins and sweet fruit flavors. Hard to resist now, but will improve with age.

Still a baby and very tight, but it's obvious an explosion of dark fruit and earth will reward with some patience.

More acidic, complex and sophisticated than the Carlisle 2012 from the same vineyard we tried next to it. Will only improve with a few years time.

Decanted for several hours then drank over the course of 5 days. Still had days of life left over.

Wow! Pencil lead, wild game, beef blood, and ripe black currant and cassis. This is a premier cru wine from a Premier Cru vineyard. Excellent extract and balance. 15%abv but couldn't tell at all.

Decanted for 2 hours. Still big, no signs of fading. Did not drink enough before it was consumed to review properly, but seemed a touch sweet.
