ZD Wines

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Founded in 1969 by two rocket scientists, ZD takes its name not only from its founders, Norman de Leuze and Gino Zepponi, but also from the engineering term Zero Defects. Sleek in its design, but with serious thrust, comparisons could be made to Corison or Montelena Estate, as well as some Left Bank Châteaux. Tart cranberry, cherry, and plum abound with purity, followed by 70% cacao, fresh pine, and damp cedar. Some secondary coconut oil adds a slightly exotic feel to an otherwise old school, savory-styled Napa Cab. Excellent. 93+ — 8 years ago

@Ron R - I use the term Gopher somewhat accurately. @Isaac Pirolo can find deals that no one else can and that cannot be replicated.

@Ron R - I totally agree with you. There’s something about north of $75 that makes me want ultra outstanding. Entry level Myriad, RM, Quivet all live south of that point and are great!!

As always, Skippy. We are aligned. Beau Vigne and Venge also come to mind in your category 🙂

'A Vita

Rosso Classico Superiore Cirò Gaglioppo

Old Calabria is number one on my personal travel books top list, wrote by that British genius who was Norman Douglas. Now this is the optimum wine to pair with such a reading: rarity, daring, intensity... only to mention few of the features we'got stated in here. Name of the wine's: 'A Vita - La Vite, The Vine in Calabrian dialect in harmony with The Life/La Vita as well - it focuses from the start the insane complexity and discloses the fleeing of the whole subject in itself! Salute e lunga Vita, thou good Old Cirò! — 11 years ago

Bright red fruit flavors with lush tannin. This wine can enjoyed on its own, with friends, on a sunny day. Or with rich duck confit and bbq'd red meats. Can't beat the price. -wine batman — 10 years ago

I got plum, blackberry, leather and cinnamon right off. This also had an excellent finish, very non-tannic and smooth. I will definitely get more of this. Everyone dug it! — 11 years ago

This is excellent. I'm always leary about trying something new but I have to say this one put a smile on my face with the first sip. Full body with a dark red color. The main thing I smell and taste is cherry. Happy Friday! It's been a long busy week. 🍷😉 — 10 years ago
