Big jammy and fun. Still holds some acidity that keeps is together. A little too ripe for my style but fun, easy, and carefree

Fruity, bramble-y, and clearly Dry Creek. A little soft and extracted on its own, but really nice with braised lamb shanks.

Ripe extracted fruit, but with soft tannins and a little blueberry note on the nose that I love.

2006 vintage. Hadn’t aged a day. Big red fruit, spicy and high-alcohol. Tasty but not particularly complex.

Big but not overbearing - I get plenty of berries with a white chocolate veneer.

Fruit forward but not too heavy. Smooth finish with just enough spice.

For those who were wondering... Yes, I am still stuck on Zins, but feel a change coming.
