Blackberries, old leather belt, well worn and made- with a brass buckle. Dark cherries tannins. Bitter chocolate. Deep and dark. — 9 years ago

Celebrating #20 with Mrs F this evening with yet another great effort from Mr. Russell From. Agree with the one hour recommendation. After that, buckle up or get another bottle open! — 10 years ago

This is seriously underrated but I understand why. Imagine blackberry-infused bacon fat. Period. Bacon fat dripping down your throat in spades has to be your thing. If it isn't, ignore the Parker rating and don't even think of trying this. If it is, buckle up and enjoy the ride. Huge QPR. — 10 years ago

The '13 Wegat Vineyard Zin by Maley Brothers is a worthy addition to the Lodi Native lineup. It is colored very dark and smells that way, too. Blackberry and black cherry aromas do a good job of distracting from the subtleties that lie beneath them. Rich, black earth, minerals, smoke and coffee all appear in turn. The palate turns those aromas into tastes, with a plummy blackberry front, and amazingly earthy middle and a juicy finish that lasts forever. It's a big wine, a brawny drink - not elegant. This wine has broad shoulders, blue jeans, a big belt buckle and dust on its boots. Use it in a marinara sauce - you will have the best sauce ever. — 11 years ago

The most absurdly long finish i have ever experienced. Had about 1.5 oz from a coravin pour. Cant wait to taste the rest. Already so polymerized for such youth. Blackberry preserves with vanilla like cashew flavors. Mossy wet soil like nose with a marshmallowy brown sugar like oak finish followed by candied red peppers. Un freakin believable. Needs more time, tannins are still quite coarse, but overall, this is going to evolve into silk. The best Bryant i have tasted. With age it will make knees buckle. — 10 years ago

Salinity, maple, cashew butter and cinnamon. Actually quite dry. This makes knees buckle. I cannot explain the perfection that was the pairing with house made pb&j doughnuts w peanut brittle. Absurdly good!!! — 9 years ago

$20 for this $40 wine is a joke! I feel like I'm stealing. It feels so wrong but tastes so right. Pair with a gamey bolognese and buckle up. I recommend decanting or aerating. Can age 5 more years no sweat. — 10 years ago

This'll make your knees buckle. Just pure, beautiful, unadulterated fruit shining brightly. Phenomenal weight, and a pleasant hint of bitterness. Can't get enough. — 11 years ago

Cocoa blackberry coulis explosion, über rich body - flamboyant, big and soulful. Tastes of warm mountainside, conifers dusted with cinnamon and brown sugar, mtn 'shroom tapenade spread on boysenberry pie. Not for the feint of heart or weak of drinking constitution at 17+%. Absolutely, without exception, needs some vittles to partner. Venison or ribs come to mind. Buckle up. — 13 years ago
