Seemed appropriate for National Zinfandel Day. Black currant and all its brambly woodsy undercurrents. While a powerful wine, it's aged beautifully and still has youth - a firm handshake from a softened hand. — 10 years ago

Wonderfully complex red blend! Great bouquet that greets you and smooth blend that makes that initial handshake with the senses - great from start to finish! Great alone or with a meal! — 12 years ago

#autolysis sometimes I just want to tell you: THANK YOU for your yeasty, bread-y handshake, your reassuring weight and warmth. That you give my favorite sparkling wines their winking depth and exotic lilt: MERCI.

This one:
Shortbread brûlée, just picked peach, copper penny, kiwi, wet hay. Palate: high minus acid, haughtiness (in a good way), apricot preserve and limeade jelly. Medium plus length, good times and happiness. *nice* — 11 years ago
