A beautiful, soft nose with notes of plum, blackberries, black raspberries, kirsch and a touch of wild flowers. The palate is surprisingly light and elegant with bright acidity. Flavors of black raspberries, kirsch and a touch of soy lead to notes of oak and spice. The finish is long and elegant with lingering acidity and bramble fruits. — 7 years ago

Clove. Star anise. Warmth. The acid that holds this wine together is stunning. At 15.7 abv (shows a little on the nose, but more on the finish) this is not a shy wine. Kudos Mike for giving 0 F's and making balanced killer Cali old vine zin. — 10 years ago

Big bold and beautiful. The bouquet flies out of the glass. My little brother introduced to Gamba and loved it since. The 2011 Starr Road brings everything black in fruit. Black cherry, blackberry, black raspberry and even a little bit of black currant. Mellow tannins give a lasting finish that slides down like liquid silk. — 11 years ago

Interesting and a little atypical nose. Just-cut cedar, moist humus (not hummus), and smoke-tinged blackberry. Some rock dust too, which i expect from Paso, but not from RRV. Full-flavored, briary blackberry fruit in the mouth. The back half of the palate has some peppery heat (which I would not expect from a Zin clocking in at only 14.2%). Dry and drying on the finish. Great with my pasta. — 7 years ago

Deep purple beauty with muddled black fruit, menthol, and graphite on the nose....a mouthful of stewed plum, white pepper, and oak shadings precede a decent tannic kick.... — 8 years ago

Mid Ruby. Nose screams Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon. Quality at that. Herbaceous brambly cedary notes with some black fruits but essentially savoury. Medium powdery tannins with medium - acid with a persistent finish. Drink now or cellar for another 5 years. — 9 years ago

Still one of my favorite Pinots. Sad this is my last bottle. Really dark in color, lots of fruit left, hints of earth. Absolutely lovely. — 7 years ago

Deep baked raisiny goodness across a sweet baked goods nose of late harvest fruit. Pleasantly acidic across a complex and lasting palate. Deep bourbon body with astringent finish. Embrace the deep old vine. Keeps getting better. — 7 years ago

Beautiful drinking now at 29 years old. Supple, soft with plenty of fruit. Long rich finish. Drinks well now but will hold there for the couple years. — 8 years ago

dark red colors in the glass with initial flavors of cherry pie followed by pepper and spice. The tannins are youthful and provide a powerful finish to this classic Zinfandel. — 9 years ago
