Wonderful wine, mellow. Notes of raspberries and almonds. Ideal to pair with meats.
I can see that the app is mixing in the same page qualifications for the Zinfandel and the Cabernet Sauvignon  — 6 months ago

Previous notes are ‘13: this ‘14 was excellent as well though noted heat, and a more traditional CA Zin flavor profile. Built for long haul w/impressive concentration & extraction- Won’t touch for at least 5 yrs or so + LONG decant — 4 years ago

Big warm blueberry, rye bread with caraway, baked brownie, loose cigar tobacco and five spice with sweet smoke. The wine is almost black, concentrated, and star bright. Big coffee on the palate, cloves, black pepper, roasted sesame seeds and ripe black currants in mocha. Really a balancing act, that comes off like an Haut Brion blend. Maybe a touch of Cab Franc? — 9 years ago

Revisiting this after 4yrs and it is coming along nicely: the color is unreal - just inky as heck w/intense concentration & stuffing. Similar profile w/improved structure. Russ Turco brings in grapes from Napa & makes wine in Door County, WI. Solid array of wines — 5 years ago

En riktig rackabajsare! Full till bredden i kropp och själ, men ändå utsökt balanserad. Gör precis allt en zinfandel ska göra, perfekt.

This is the brut version of the same wine. Floral, lychee. Interesting and fun. Good wine to share. — 3 years ago

Stunner, still miles to go: reminded me of rockin 90s Zin - incredible purity, all kinds of perfectly ripe red fruit, spice & everything nice. Seamless, balanced, harmonious - flat out impressive from a producer in WI that trucks in grapes. Single vyd (Ballentine) sourced in Napa — 3 years ago

This will be great in 10 years. Now the oak is huge and upfront and is hot with alc (15.5%). Deep dense dark cab franc. A very Napa effort. — 6 years ago

An excellent blend. It starts like a chardonnay with smooth buttery tones. Then, it gives way to a tart apple finish like a nice sauvignon blanc. — 6 years ago
