Clear and light. A little shrill. Pretty. Clearly a decent amount of age on this, but light and pretty.

A Classic California Zin. However this bottle showed less fruit than prior bottles. That said, 2 hours of air help to open it. Amazing for an 80 year old wine. Needs air. A legend.

Wow, love this wine. The 2006 Zin is very smooth. Earthy and full bodied. Low tannins. Big flavor!

1974. Pleasantly vibrant, enjoyable & youthful. Don't let the light color fool you... Incredible wine for its age!

Oldest Zinfandel I've tasted, still full of life and fruit.

Very restrained Zin. (Calmed by Age?). Aromas of wild berries, black cherry and cloves with a hint of dark chocolate. Raspberry and cherry fruit on the pallet with a bit of black pepper on the finish. Color has lightened with time but this wine was still quite vibrant. Nice!
