Kirk Venge knows a thing or two about making Zinfandels. He also makes another of my favorites with Biale Vineyards, known as Black Chicken. For David and Monica Stephens, he partnered up to make this deep dark Zinfandel with a chewy fruit and a jammy texture (but not jammy sweetness). — 8 years ago

Oh yeah - expectations were subdued even though I really like Kirk Venge (winemaker) and Justin Stephens who learned his craft from one of my favorite wineries DR Stephens

That said, this blew me away - like a spectator at gran prix race as race flies by at 200+ mph and you say wow

what is there not to like

Just beautiful deep purplish red color - rich deep with texture you tell is there but cannot really see - decanted for two hours but seriously great first sip - really tasty - made your entire mouth feel special - later the taste just got better and better - just taste and you say awe - full of supple bright cherries and blueberries which go from front to mid palate with tannins that just balance the fruit nicely - nice structure and balance - the finish was special and loooooong

Then let's not forget the smell - I really need to describe as best I can - notes of berries and dark cassis dance all in the glass with layers of complexities that my nose was smiling as well as my mouth - but make no mistake - there a big bold beautiful beast within this bottle

Drink now and for 10 plus years as it will get better - end of bottle smiles were noticeable and not hard to see - really think this is special and highly recommended — 8 years ago

This is the "second" wine from Husic Vineyards but I struggle to call it a second wine. Made by Mike Hirby (Relic, Winter, D.R. Stephens), the wine is a deep red in the glass. The nose is full on raspberries and blackberries with baking spice. The palate delivers dark fruits, light oak, moderate tannins, light acidity. Heavy sediment. I think this could be laid down for another 5-7 years and still be strong. A very nice wine. — 8 years ago
