13.5% abv. Little viognier. Label says “ savor it over the next ten years”. We sure did. Even more tasty in 2025. — 10 months ago

This will only get better with age and it’s already terrific. The biggest takeaway for me was the lingering taste of hot chocolate mix; subtle but undeniable. The bouquet is stuffed with cedar shavings, the dark fruit is strong but not obnoxious and the tannins coat the tongue, rather than attack it. — 8 years ago
Cool label that represents the landscape of the vineyard. Very, very dark color. Like the color of a purple ink well. Aroma is warm forest duff in the sun mixed with beet and black cherry juice. Hint of green bell pepper or maybe broccoli fields after harvest, but faint. Flavors are robust and hearty. Plum sauce (like the Chinese savory version) mixed with pomegranate molasses. Tannins on the tongue are strong, but they add a savory side. Hint bittersweet like coffee/dark unsweetened chocolate. This is a very nice big boy Syrah. Not showing much age considering the 10 years in the bottle. It’s nice, but it might get better more years in. — 2 years ago
love the pure expression....Brander knows how to do this — 6 years ago
I’m not sure why the app calls this Zinfandel a Syrah, but whatever. The nose is ripe red fruit, raspberry, dark cherry, and strawberry jam. More red fruit on the palate with a nice blend of oak, black tea, and cola. High acid, tannins, and alcohol, but, hey, it blends. Young and tart after six years, but not overpowering, this wine could make me a zin fan, maybe, someday. — 7 years ago
