Wonderful. Smooth, round, soft, fruity. I get blackberries and vanilla. Can't pick out much else though. Delicious. — 9 years ago

I find myself trying to pick the fruit into a forest of resolute, scented but not aggressive leather and I discover wood, tobacco, dried rose, rosemary, liqorice. Finally here is it, a vivid red fruit and rose petals. In the mouth, sweet tannins and spices. Balanced and intense structure. Good acidity. Leather is the "fil rouge" of this novel, written in proud tones, but elegantly painted with a clear and trasparent garnet red with an orange touch. — 10 years ago

Oh boy. Still a monster but the tannins had relaxed enough at 20 years old to enjoy it with a ribeye. I loved it. If Napa had the testicular fortitude to pick their fruit this timely, terroir could be more easily distinguished. — 10 years ago

oak is a drag, but these guys use a ton of it and it works so there are exceptions to every rule or everything we know is wrong. Pick one. — 8 years ago

Very nice for a cheap price!! Australia has really been making some bargains. Lots of lime on the nose with a hint of either really ripe apple or pear. GF said it smelled like gas but I didn't get any of that. Certainly worth a pick up. — 10 years ago

Top pick of the tasting, especially at the price point. This one is a keeper. Even at this stage very drinkable and can't wait for 5 years from now. Stock up. — 10 years ago

Black tea, raspberry and aged cheese on the palate. Absolutely delicious with heavy blackberry, black tea and mineral. Yummy and easy to drink. Would buy! #everydaygems #everydaywine #mendocino #mendocinowine #zinfandel — 10 years ago

"Rich blend shows hints of blackberry, caramel, roast coffee and toasted oak." states the label.

I thought it was a bit spicy, and could easily pick out the roast coffee. Paired wonderfully with beef chili. — 11 years ago

Incredible juice. So much going on, at one point I gave up trying to pick things out and just enjoyed the experience. — 9 years ago

Classic Cali cab likely capable of at least an additional ten-year rest in its cave, but stunningly brilliant now immediately apparent from a post-twirl nosehit to its first blush front-mouth chocolate-cherry coating then silklike side-slip down the inner face showing the real hang-time of its vintage history whispering - "have another hit...😎" This wine is complimenting Mindy's amazing makings at her cordial local ocean-to- farm-to-table kitchen and fresh bake shop dressed for Christmas as locals pick their Holiday trees, wreaths, etc. to classic Christmas tunage in the crisp clear air☀️ Don't miss this special spot!🍷🌀 PS I am, mostly a Euro sort always on the hunt for sub14% juice with more subtle notes. This wine temporarily takes me back to the 70s, in Cali - very groovy😎 — 10 years ago

Ryan made a good pick, but I must admit I didn't pay too much attention to the flavors as we were drinking with friends and busy catching up. Would definitely buy again, though. — 12 years ago
