There's not many times when I drink CA Zin, but this would be one of them. Blackberries, black plums, smoky, earthy undertones. Yum!

Been drinking Chris' wine for some time now, and this might be his best Vine Starr so far. RISE ABOVE!

Loads of brett... Light, maybe needs a decant and a few hours? After a glass the Brett was blowing off

Vibrant, high-toned and fresh. Blackberries and dried herbs. I wish the acidity were a touch higher though.

So bizarre to taste ruby red grapefruit in a red wine, especially Zinfandel. And yet I'm totally digging it!

Light for a Zin. Really earthy which I don't usually like. Would not get his again.

I don't get a chance to try many, but this is the best Zin I've had in some time. Broc Cellars kills it.
