Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of dinner. The 2021 pours a deep garnet color with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of black cherry, espresso, black tea, dried herbs and gentle warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Drink now with patience but, to my palate, I think this will be better with a few more years in the cellar so the oak can better integrate. This is built to last well past 2041. — 5 months ago
And now for something different…
Minerality, yellow plums. Nice acidity and finish. — 7 months ago
So solid, year in year out - I know they make a ton of this, and yes it’s at Costco, but when you’re looking for a reliable Zin, this is it. Bordering on being too fruit forward - this barely checks the box for secondary aromas & flavors. Balanced harmonious with intermediate aging potential. Try to find their single vineyard offerings. — 2 years ago
Deep Ruby with aromas of dark red fruits, spice and notes of forest floor. On the palate flavors of blueberry and blackberry with floral, herb and oak. Fine grainy chalky tannins, lively acidity, long finish ending with fruit and mineral spice, tight, needs time. Nice! — 5 years ago

Revisiting an old friend. From one of Europe’s highest vineyards. Pure, clean citrus fruit hits you right away like a freshly melted alpine stream in spring. As the bottle warms up, unexpected tropical notes emerge - coconut and pineapple (aka nuances of piña colada). — 9 months ago
Очень нежный аромат пороха, вулканические почвы чувствуются сразу, но очень нежно.
Во вкусе немного мяса, сырокопченая колбаса, кислотность высокая, по характеру похоже на что-то квашеное, есть пикантность. Очень минеральное, много пороха. Кислотность цитрусовая, строгая. Вино в целом очень аскетичное, как натянутая струна. Диапазон вкуса со временем не меняется.
Вино будет питься долго, а не одним глотком.
Выпил бы бутылку один, но лучше разделить с кем-то (боюсь только с Самвелом). — 5 years ago
We enjoyed this Zin a lot. Tasting notes include all spice, floral, and strawberries. It’s potent with 15% alcohol. Paired well with dark chocolate and honey/garlic pork chops. — 7 years ago
