Prettiest Zin ibhave ever had, I can't believe a 2015 would be at 13.7 ... wow the acid backbone is killer. Drinks almost like a barbaresco

Beautiful overall with upfront dark fruits and very nice aromatics.
A tiny bit of (dusty) tannins kicking in at the finish makes me think to enjoy this in the next few years.

2007, 14.7 is the most amount of alc. I have ever seen in his wine. But this thing is SPECTACULAR! He has a knack for making extremely elegant, yes elegant, Zin. Boysenberry, warm strawberry and a long fine finish. I would have never guessed it had almost 10 yrs on it.

Jammer than I remembered. Got because we were surprised we enjoyed the first bottle but this vintage isn’t up to snuff.

Ok. Not as good as I remembered from the last bottle. More intensely fried flavors.

Interesting. Not what was expected but still pleasantly surprised. Cherry but not overly. Earthy and had different characteristics than a zin usually. Good for the price. Would get again when we stock up.
