9.0

Only 175 cases made, this is a small outfit that works w/old vines primarily Zin & Petite Sirah. This was a 15.5% monster w/extraordinary concentration & stuffing. Tightly wound and reductive, this reminded me of some Clarendon Hills wines. Finally yielded a fairly impressive Zin profile, but that ALC was out of whack. Needs to sleep for 5 yrs or so
