The nose is quite volatile with a heavy dose of paint thinners (as we say in England), crisp green apples, pear drops and earth.

The palette has notes of saline, fresh apples and a nice gentle sweetness. The acid is soft at this point, so I consider this wine to be at its zenith. If you have em, drink them up. — 9 years ago

Like drinking a piece of history, I felt privileged to taste the 1985 and 1983 vintages of Knudsen Erath Pinot Noir with two of the children of Cal Knudsen. Graceful, arching secondary and tertiary notes of sous bois, dried rose petal, wild mushrooms, brown sugar and dried mint. Brickish in the glass, like a faded tapestry, one can detect how it might have been at its zenith. There is, interestingly still moderate acidity lacing together notes of game and iron ore, there's not much fruit to be found at this stage. — 10 years ago

Another hilly Willamette, Zenith Vineyard, Freedom Hill, and Shea Vineyard, etc. Classic notes of ripe cherry, rose on the nose but still complex and so delicious! — 9 years ago

If I could rate this one 11, I would...
In Dutch:
“In your face” neus: een explosie van geroosterde noten, amandel, hars, een kruidenkabinet vol, citrusschil, zeezout. Hier kan je uren aan ruiken en altijd komt er iets nieuws bij. Boenwas, wierook, houtoven. Naarmate de wijn wat opwarmt komen nog meer zilte tonen boven: zeewier, strand… Intense smaakbom op de tong die aanvangt met uitgesproken ziltigheid, daarna prikkelende kruidigheid en rokerigheid. Is dit droog? Niet echt. Is dit zoet? Niet echt. Dit is perfect in evenwicht. De afdronk duurt minuten. “Amontillado at its brillant zenith”. Kippenvel en een eerbiedige stilte zijn hier het gevolg van. — 9 years ago

At its zenith right now. Lots of tobacco and barrel toast on the nose.
Cinnamon and spice box on the palette. Very well behaved in the glass. Great textured finished with 14.5% alcohol!! Great Napa example... — 10 years ago

My favorite of a spectacular profile tasting this evening of St. Innocent wines. Shea, Zenith, Momtazi and Vitae Springs all great and distinctly different in 2011, 2010. Showed a melange of red and black berries with elegant but persistent spice, great aromatics and racy acids. — 12 years ago

Fresh, almost tropical, fruit aromas, chewy tannins and dark fruit and tar flavors. This truly hit on all cylinders, a Syrah zenith for sure. — 10 years ago
