Expected this one to be DOA, but this was a really nice elegant old zin from the Eschen Vineyard. Dusty spicy old vine zin fruit in the best way possible. This is what CA wines should be all about. — 12 years ago

Hijt of dried black cherry, dark chocolate, hint of oxidation, lots of fresh leather aromas. Med p body, med p acid, med p tannin, fruit on forward but bitterness follows. Well balanced, long finish with concentrated red cherries. Delicious. — 11 years ago
Interesting. A Giorgio Rivetti/La Spinetta Fernet.
Nose reminds me of Branca , but palate is deceptively light and almost thin. Interesting, but didn't work for me. — 13 years ago

I am generally a Moscato fan. The earlier reviewer commented that this had little depth after the first taste, and I agree with that. You get the sugary flavor, but none of the pine needles and honey of something little the La Spinetta. — 11 years ago
