My first Zinfandel experience. Fruit forward and heady alcohol hit. Balanced tannin and acidity with just a hint of sweetness. Fun to drink! — 7 years ago

Clear deep ruby red wine, with a clean medium intensities of dried clack fruit and spices in the nose. A dry wine with low acidity, medium tannins and body with hints of dark fruit, especially black cherries, anise herbal flavors and MSU grooms with a long finish. Outstanding red blend that went well with Greek ground beef kebobs. — 8 years ago

Opened up with supper expressive aromatics of red bramble fruit with a hint of stoniness. Juicy and open. A little grippy on the back. Another couple years and this should be hitting its stride. Always love this wine. Great value. Definitely a producer that should be better know, but is gladly sub rosa. — 9 years ago

This red is very enjoyable mostly Zin blend. It is nice with a ripe fruit and spice nose with a medium to full body and plenty of cranberry, black current, and peppery spice. Tart and more tannic than the usual Zin and is well balanced and very easy to drink. — 10 years ago

Full-bodied and fruit-forward without the syrupy sweetness of most inexpensive California zins. Great $11 beach wine and even better at home for $8.50 at Total Wine! — 10 years ago

The third PCV wine opened the night of my birthday. This Zin is dense rich and sweet fruit with a bit of soft tannin. One of my favorite PCV zins. But getting old. — 12 years ago

Fruity and herbal aromas of brambly raspberry, kumquat, rosemary, and black soil. Finesse and elegance from a typically showy grape. Everything Broc does is awesome. Plus they have the best labels. — 7 years ago

I drank this at their open house, and at the time I thought it was one of the best 2011's we tasted. This is another example of a wine that will have the "experts" pondering the 2011 vintage. This may be similar to a 2003 for selected wineries. I'll go on the record that I like it - a lot. — 10 years ago

Superb blend of typicity with regional characteristics. Taste those old vines... One of the best Central Otagos I've tasted, and there have been many. Drinking perfectly now but still plenty of life, no need to rush. Purchased in Vancouver August 2015 for ~$55. — 10 years ago

I loved a wine, but it wasn't favored amongst other folks. Lots of vanilla and oak. Full bodied and dry. Love this! Would probably pair nicely with steak or ribs. — 7 years ago

Very nice flavor with strong fruit but not overwhelming. Little bit of spice, but fairly good balance overall slightly biased towards fruit side. Finish is medium long but not very tannic or acidic — 7 years ago

Smoke, warm red fruits, spices, powdered sugar, roasted plums. Tannins have grip but are countered by plenty of acidity and alcohol is warm but not intrusive. Exceptionally balanced and complex at a great price point. — 10 years ago
