A classy wine. Sleek, firm and beautifully structured with lovely bright cherry, spice, chocolate, plum and anise flavors. Clean and long at the end, the wine comes from a relatively new winery that consistently pumps out high quality.

This is one of the “big zins” that come out of California; huge nose loaded with ripe rich berry aromas, lots of alcohol on the nose which is not surprising as it is more than 15% alcohol, spicy and loaded with oriental herbs; this wine needs a lot of time in the glass at this early stage; the first taste is quite hard on the one hand, and also has slightly overripe, too sweet flavors; these resolve themselves with more time in the glass, and after an hour, the wine assumes a beautifully concentrated set of flavors, dominated by raspberry and blackberry, quite spicy, still dominated by big, chunky, dry tannins that will need more time to fully integrate, but this is an impressive wine; not yet ready to drink, however, and I would wait at least two years before tackling this wine again. (17+/20)
