Juicy and interesting, deep blood orange citrusy taste but overwhelmingly candy-apple or candy-watermelon. Someone i was having a glass with compared to a jolly rancher — 9 years ago

Apple, paint nose...some cherry. Pleasant. Nice spice - not sharp - on the tongue. Catch some cinnamon in there. Very nice! — 10 years ago

This is the 2013 Sluice Box El Dorado southern Rhone white varietal blend with 50% skin fermented. Beautiful copper-orange-gold color and slightly cloudy. Nose has sweet fruit, melon, a bit of citrus zest, and something floral in the way of a tropical garden after rain instead of perfumy roses. Palate shows a bit of exuberantly youthful grapiness, white stone fruit, white pepper, and freshness. This wine is medium bodied, balanced, and very pleasantly shows plenty of fine tannins. Really beautiful wine. — 12 years ago
2006. 8yr old Zin from Lodi. This used to be a bruiser of a wine. Now it's quite balanced, nuanced, and at the end of its life. Very vegetal with green bean and English pea aromas, balsam, and tasting of an amalgam of stewed raisined cherry, black currant , oak, mushroom, and white pepper. 16.5%abv. — 12 years ago
