"Dusty oak spice, traces of minerals and a faint bit of hardwood smoke overlie concentrated blackberry fruit in the nose of this ripe, but entirely controlled Zin. Nicely integrated acidity brings balance and length to the its like-minded flavors, and, if a touch dry at the finish, the wine never loses its fruity bearings and will afford versatile drinking with dishes ranging from roasted pork to tomato-laced stews." 87 points - Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine, January 2008
