50th Anniversary. ZD cabernet sauvignon 2018. “Young and Bold!” This redeems the last bottle of ZD I had. This has a zing to it like a zinfandel . WOW. If I did not know better I would think it was zinfandel. This has lots of dark fruit on the beginning as you would expect from a cab. I can taste the grapes - if that makes any since; and it is definitely a cab grape. I taste black raspberry and ripe blackberry. There is oak and charcoal jamming in the middle. Smoke and graphite. And that spicy zing! Finish is moderately dry. I love this wine. Well worth the price of 75 dollars. — 4 years ago

Great cork for 19 years,
I think the 27% Merlot brings the score down for me. 2002 Jones & 97 ZD reserve are a step above at half the price,

One of the flagship wines of the late Jess Jackson’s Artisans and Estates limited production offerings is the 2001 Cardinale, a blend of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon and 27% Merlot from some of the finest Jackson-owned vineyards on Mt. Veeder, Keyes on Howell Mountain, Alexander Mountain Estate as well as purchased fruit from the Stagecoach, To-Kalon and Peter Michael vineyards. — 4 years ago

Amazing density that lifts the sensory palate. Must try. Didnt seem like a port but a lighter amarone — 6 years ago

#knifepointer great nose on this one - hints of rose petal, cassis, and mocha espresso. While spiced French oak overwhelms the tongue! Enjoyed this more than the ZD. — 9 years ago

Not as dark & opulent as the 97 ZD Reserve. But still another very good properly stored bottle. Cork looks great for the age. A little brickish at the edges . Give it 30-45 minutes to blow off the age. Can’t put it down now, this is a 1 person bottle. Had to give it an extra couple points Parker 88 back in the day. So much better now — 5 years ago

Medium bodied, medium tannins. Bright yet slightly austere fruit with a hint of forest floor on the finish. Loved it. From a Disney Cruise with the fam. Yup... surprisingly good wines on ship. Had ZD, La Jota, Far Niente, etc. — 8 years ago

ZD Winery began as a partnership of two aerospace engineers whose initials formed the name of the winery: Norman de Leuze and Gino Zepponi. Ruby with ripe berry fruit aromas and toasty spice. On the palate ripe cherry and blackberry flavors with sweet vanilla oak notes, good balance. Medium+ finish, smooth tannins ending with fruit and cacao tones. Drink now! — 4 years ago

It’s a big, old school Napa chard. I for one can appreciate the style. Passion fruit, coconut, bay. — 4 years ago

Great, very limited release, Napa valley Sangiovese. Needs plenty of time to open up, and it's worth the wait. Dark Ruby color, light to medium bodied, with nice red fruit and firm, yet silk and well integrated tannins, on the finish. — 9 years ago
