Awesome nose of smoked meet and blueberries. Great, animalistic Syrah. Outstanding if a little soft on the backside. — 8 years ago

Acid bomb is right. Paired with a cheese fondue. Petrol on the nose citrus fruits and spice on the palate. Not one I'd reach for regularly but good — 9 years ago

Are you an adventurist? Then, pick this bottle. Defniately a juicy wine and a lot of aromas.. Vanilla beans, plum, stewed blackberries and a hint of coffee. On palate still shows vanilla beans and stewed dark berries. It has a medium minus tannin and shows more fruity character. Cheers — 10 years ago

2015 vintage on 12 Jan 2018. Not as remarkable as the 92 points label would have you believe, but still deliciously drinkable. Could not taste the promised “hints of almond and walnuts.” Am imbecile. — 8 years ago

Wow ! Wow! Wow! This Zinfandel has serious substance! (Or as my friend Neal@would say,, some@eruous tits on it!) It bold and smooth at the same time with that wonderful lingering flavor of a Zinfandel. Oaky, smooth,cassis, raspberry subtle black currant all perfectly balanced! Definitely a sin I will be buying again. Sublime!!!!! — 9 years ago

The bouquet is full yet lean and airy with violets, herbs, cocoa and ripe fruit. On the palate, the medium acid has perfect tension with subtle and velvety tannins. Flavors of herbs, tart fruit mixed with ripe stone fruit. Lean, complex, elegant, wonderful. — 11 years ago
