Still holding together nicely, the flavors are a bit muted but present. Nice acid, nice tannic structure. Lots of wood and blue fruit on the nose.

Great nose, cherry pie confectioners sugar, dripping with fruit and oak, a touch of meat. Viscous, and rich in the mouth, a touch of tannin, and the alcohol is just peaking out with the age.

Pepper and rock. Long finish. With bacon mushroom burgers and sautéed onions. Nice alcohol and balance.

Dry zin with chewy tannins. Good zin to introduce drinkers to a single vineyard bottle of this varietal. On the nose, notes of blackberry and soft pepper. 2012 vintage.

Delightful! A zin that isn't trying to be Bordeaux or Cali pinot or amarone. Just its sweet pretty self. Nooch for our popcorn Curious George movie night.
