Opened the only bottle I have. Didn't think the risk was too great. Very nice nose initially. Drinks easy. Not a big cab but a nice full flavored body. Good fruit. I like it. Pricey-short drinking window, but I'd buy a few more.

Very stiff coming out of the bottle. After 15 minutes in a glass it opened up very nicely. A soft Pinot -no fruit bomb here. Very drinkable. Enjoyable.

"The 2007 Dark Matter Zinfandel displays a complex nose of black pepper, plum, blackberry, dark chocolate and cedar. On the palate, concentrated flavors of black cherry, dried plum, black pepper spice and cedar create this medium to full bodied wine with a balanced finish." A very polished and smooth wine.

Not your ordinary Zin! The Mondavi sisters created a jewel of a wine. Like nothing I've ever had before. Drinks fabulously right now with very little decanting time. I'm a forever fan.

Based on the nose, not quite ready to drink. I would cellar closer to the 2015 window. Bouquet is still young with a faint hint of softening tannins. Drinkable with a 2 hour decant. Black cherry with soft tones of earth.
