From old vines, some of which date back over 130 years. Nose: saddle leather, pepper and spice. Maybe a hint of cinnamon. One of the silkier Zinfandels I've had in years. Supple and spicy. Medium length finish.

About as good as CA Zin gets. Plum, intense black cherry and dark chocolate. Balanced. Very tasty.

Meh, not my favorite Zin. Not too jammy but just doesn’t knock my socks off.

This is excellent Napa zin. Very restrained and reined compared to most Napa zins. plum, cherries, hint of cocoa, great spice and a smooth finish. Highly recommend.

Light and slightly sweet. Would pair well with glazed BBQ or chocolate.
