Baking spices, caramel, and tobacco notes with a smooth and long finish. — a month ago
Just read an article saying the “neck pour” issue is BS. Well I still believe in it. This got better in the glass but I’m betting even better next tasting. It’s light in color and in the finish. This is an easy drinker. Not sure the proof but it’s not over the top. I’m assuming 80ish or at least that’s how it comes across. — 10 months ago
Rich, dark purple in the glass. Shy, reticent nose of dark pie cherry, and tobacco. Smooth, (perhaps too smooth) and ripe (perhaps too ripe)… definitely “New world” in style. I think perhaps Barbera needs a bit of roughness, wildness, primitiveness to balance the fruit. Still a nice accompaniment to hot Hawaiian pizza and late-summer heirloom salad. — 4 years ago

Deep, rich berry nose accented by animal, feral notes. Not necessarily prototypical Zin characteristics. But really nice. On the palate, however, it’s more typical. Earthy, sandstoney blackberry fruit, really nice balance of richness, acids, and tannin. Very long finish. I love the Zins from this vineyard, but I think I heard somewhere this is the last vintage they’re making from here. 😥 — a month ago
