Big chewy mouth. Berries and spice on the nose. Only a hint of oak on the palate. Lingering spice. — 9 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

Nice dark fruit with a very slight mint nose. Great brambly cherish fruit taste. Nice long finish with a bit of tannins at the end. Very nice and balanced. Having with Moroccan Spiced Spatchcock Grilled Chicken — 11 years ago
Tasty!! Sweet, very slightly dry, strong cherry notes, with a touch of cranberry, cardamom, and vanilla. The nose is extremely pleasant, full of cherry and oak. Very, very nice — 9 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
I agree with a previous review, raisin on the tongue. Smooth yet bold. Delicious. — 9 years ago
Tannins tannins tannins. A hint of cocoa, almost overpowered by oak. Paired with a delicious brisket via Meadow Haven Farm. Thanks for the pairing rec @Aaron Rankin

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
One of my favorites — 10 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
Sweet, spicy, berry nose. Velvety, spicy, peppery with a touch of hot sauce on the finish. Rawk solid! — 10 years ago
