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

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

I had this one laying around for a while thinking it was too old to drink. I never had an incentive to open it especially considering the vintage. I expected to pour this down the drain and was I ever wrong! Loads of fresh fruit and the age has softened any hard edges. Very pleasantly surprised — 10 years ago

One of the best Zins out there in my opinion. Great balance from 90 yr old vines grown on Olivet Rd. — 11 years ago
12.5% old vine carignan, really fresh and juicy, tastes French! — 12 years ago
A fabulous old vine zin. — 9 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
Exuberant cherries, high acidity, long finish — 10 years ago
Amazing wine from @Robert Mackie's cellar, looking forward to sharing the bottle we brought back with my old man... Rivals any of the best Cali cabs out there! — 11 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
Holy cow, this was good. Liquid blackberry pie with loads of balanced structure. I wouldn't have guessed it was 9 years old. — 11 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. — 8 years ago
