This '07 has held up well! Crisp and refreshing to go hand and hand with today's weather. 'Was enjoyed by spectators at the Easter egg hunt this evening. I can only hope I'm as bubbly and fired up for my 5k tomorrow! πΎπ₯#letsturnitup #schramsberg β 9 years ago

My first time trying this, and it is really terrific and a great value at the price point. Very full and complete on the palate. Lovely blueberry and blackberry fruit on the palate with a hint of baking spices and vanilla. I would definitely buy this again. Kudos @Anthony Biagi ! β 8 years ago

Drank in the trailer during Congress. It was really good. Tasted like it cost a lot more than it did. Bought at Specs. β 10 years ago

You really can't give this one a very true rating right now. This bottle still has a lot of red fruited baby fat. After about 3 hours of air, it started to settle into more of a black cherry with hints of blackberry kind of a wine. But it definitely was not like that sooner. It is amazing how 15 years seems to be the dividing line and the characteristics change so much. It took a little coaxing. This one has a fair amount of herb influence. Also has some menthol or eucalyptus. Not sure that was there when I tried one of these even earlier. Overall, I make no apologies for opening this one now. It is still a very good wine. But when you know how these drink at 15 to 20 years, you know that it will continue to develop and change so much. Still a lot of stiff oak astringency at the moment. β 5 years ago
They didnβt rest on their laurels after the Judgement of Paris! Chateau Montelenaβs Calistoga Zinfandel is overloaded with notes of Red Cherries with an aged bourbon finish. Light bodied, garnet red with minimal tannins, excellent alone or with a bit of truffle salted mozzarella. β 7 years ago

Another great grenache from t-vine. I remember not loving this wine 7 years ago, but wow it has come together over time. Paired with homemade cannelloni β 4 years ago
