Crazy good paired with dipping into gamba al ajillo (emphasis added), at Napa's groovy/real Zuzu, catching a classic deeply dirty nose while still sporting sun-drenched fruit that initially reworks one's first blush front mouth with an iodine edge that morfs into red and black fruit edgy with acid/tannin slow dancing to the depths and begging for another pinch of broth soaked chewy freshly baked bread and the associated next swig of this sweet juice...rhythmically stellar by day or by night😎🌌👣🍷🌀🎼

Big bold and beautiful. The bouquet flies out of the glass. My little brother introduced to Gamba and loved it since. The 2011 Starr Road brings everything black in fruit.

What an unusual wine: from an old grape cultivated by few, on only 6 hectares!
2008, 13%, bottle tasted in January 2015.
Color: rich and intense, slightly dark orange, but limpid.
Nose: ethereal, a bit alcoholic, intense, very spicy, green pepper, clove, and balsamic too (pine tree).
Taste: very fresh, good acidity, smooth tannins, long persistence, good body, powdery, beeswax.

Unique blend of Zinfandel, Primitivo and Petite Sirah. Very big wine - huge fruit, silky mouth feel, 15.2 abv. Really delicious and great QPR. Paired very well with a spicy pasta dish. — 8 years ago
