  Typical high quality Zin from Stryker. Lush and full-bodied without being too jammy. Drinking great right now.

  To my own surprise, I really liked this bottle. Earlier stuff I have had from this producer really disappointed (typical lushy fruit forward swill, so new world CA in style that I actually dreaded opening up this bottle which is why I left it for so long as I did in my cellar, avoiding the eventual day of reckoning .....). But to cut to the chase, this had both flavor and lift, focus and a certain verve, and was even better day two and day three! Minerality, Zin bramble, spice. A nice package.
  
  Oh that they could pull this off with their cab.......
