Tasted 3/15.
Decanted. Beautiful balance, only slight greenness. Non-offensive sulfer blew off in 30 minutes. Reticent nose with leather and cherry. Integrated tannins, great acid. Growth over dinner to reveal rich fruit, cocoa over tones. A wonderful wine, underrated IMHO. — 11 years ago

In a challenging vintage, these guys made an exceptional Pinot! Went so well with my pork chop! — 11 years ago

Smooth cherry notes with a touch of spice in the nose and palette. Pairs well with pizza tonight! — 11 years ago

High shoulder fill, extra long cork completely soaked. By some happy coincidence this is the 4th time we have had this in the last 5-6 years. 3 times (including this) very very good and once just good. At this point the secondary leather and cedar aromas and flavors dominate the remaining fruit. Still a fun drink and a good match for roast chicken. Another Winebid bargain! — 11 years ago
A soft and smooth red blend of Zinfandel, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah. Dark fruit, with mocha, vanilla and spice. Great length and more complexity then a close-counterpart in McManis. This is yummy. 2012. — 11 years ago
Deadly sins my ass... But then I'm not Catholic!!! This Zinfandel is like a psychotic dwarf, wielding a fruit edged axe, leaping around the inside of your mouth. Fat fruit, teeth staining character... But limited complexity. Price in Canada makes me think it should take me hours to drink a glass... US prices would make this a deeply satisfactory bottle, something that Oakenshield would quaff with deep satisfaction. Buy in the US and pay the import fees... Then get your dwarf on!!!! — 12 years ago

Dark cherry in the first taste, finish is a peppery Coca-Cola. Could drink this all day. — 10 years ago
