Light garnet color bordering on delicate with fine sediment. Musty almond paste on closed nose. Tart apricot, cherry pie. Clover, allspice finish. Lingering menthol appears with time. So many more notes rise and fall with food. Soft, luscious, curious and lovely. — 10 years ago

Hot rocks, crunchy red fruit, cinnamon. Perhaps a touch less acidity than I expect from this wine, but that's a quibble. Needs food. — 11 years ago

This has all the hallmarks of a quality zinfandel, down to the jammy red fruits and pepperish nose. What sets it apart is the first notes I smelled when I stuck my nose in the glass: gorgeous red and purple flowers that offer grace and beauty to an otherwise behemoth of a wine. At 15.9% abv this wine drinks even higher, if you can believe that. Drink with food, but enjoy regardless. — 11 years ago

Bright apple flavors, not too sweet with a light cirrus bite at the end. Perfect accompaniment to spicy Asian food but goes well with Ethiopian or Jamaican also. — 12 years ago

The 07 is drinking nicely. Quite a nice pairing with spicy Chinese food tonight. Handles the heat very well. Essence of ginger root, graham crackers, huge lime taste, lemon, green apple, melons, grapefruit, glycerine, petroleum and a slate finish. — 11 years ago

Really, really nice, esp at this price point. Light color, nice fruit, flowery nose, serious tannins. Very food friendly and flexible. A joy. Mellowed out on day 2, but I liked it more when it was sharper day 1.
