Every year that they have made this wine it has been fantastic.You can`t go wrong by buying this bottle of wine.Or any thing else from this vineyard.They really make high class great wines.Just look for the ship on the front,and buy it.The old vine zin doesn`t have the ship tho.

Lovely burst of flavor from the first sip to the last. Let it sit for a minute after decanting. Personally, I like it served just below room tempature (I am odd that way).

The freshness of this is astounding. The color is a light ruby red with nary a sign of age. Amazing. The nose has great floral bouquet of red roses. There is a fresh red cherry component that is age defying. The palate has a very deftly balanced array of red fruits: Cherries, plums, raspberries and pomegranate. The mouth feel is soft, but assertive, or as assertive as you could ever want from a 20 year old Zinfandel. The label states 83% Zinfandel, and 17% Petite Sirah. I think he PS has kept this one alive. This was aged in American Oak ad there is just the faintest trace of oak toward the finish, just a bit. A long and well structured finish of 2+ minutes completes the perfect package. WOW. Fully matured and holding on nicely, this was a real treat tonight. It has held up better than many 20 year old Cabs I have had within the last year or so. An old timer hitting a homerun. Not bad for $15.
