Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Co-released with the 2007 Zin-Petite Sirah blend, this wine shows the same characteristics. It’s dryish, tannic and rustic, with peppery flavors framing berries, currants and smoked meat. Give it a good decant before serving.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A robust blend of two popular varieties, this full-bodied red is basically dry and fairly tannic. It’s enormously rich and extracted in blackberries and cherries, with notes of bacon, beef jerky, tobacco and scads of peppery spices. Drink now.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
What’s so likeable about this Cabernet is the dryness and the overall balance, which is stylish and elegant. It keeps the blackberry and black currant fruit in check with earthier tones of tobacco and olives.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Tastes a bit jammy sweet and direct now, with strong flavors of blackberries, cherries and raspberries. Seems to need a year or three in the cellar to let everything soften and integrate. But it’s not a 20-year wine.
