  Very Good
  
  Not the biggest Zinfandel drinker in the world, probably have 5 or so bottles a year, so I have limited knowledge of this grape. However, this would qualify as one of the best bottles I have had.
  
  First impression that came to mind on the nose was prominent blackberry and eucalyptus. The palate was loaded with more hug black fruit, cigar box and a hint of white pepper. Slight silkiness to this relatively soft wine, tannins were well restrained. Small amount of heat on a very long finish.
  
  This is definitely a wine I would purchase again.

  OUTSTANDING!
  Great expression of full bodied California Pinot. Nose of cherry, strawberry and currant. Palate coating flavors include hint of raspberry and spice that leads to a long balanced, juicy acidic finish. I love the overall weight of the wine and look forward to seeing the progression over the next few years.

  Outstanding
  P-N-P on the evening of delivery. Wine was in route less than 48 hours and still cold. Great color in the glass, translucent, crystal clear shade of cherry. Little spice on the nose mixed with summer fruits. Flavors and tartness of watermelon candy, yet the body of the wine carried a little weight. Real nice dry finish as the flavors linger. This wine will be a knockout this summer.
