Score: 87 | May 1, 2013 | Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
(raised for 15 months in a combination of French and American oak; 15.5% alcohol): Opaque ruby. Ripe cherry and singed plum on the nose and in the mouth. Warm and supple in texture, with a note of finishing heat and soft tannins coming on late. Plenty rich but I wish that there were more vivacity here.

Zesty and ripe, but balanced by a solid core of acidity and tannins. Aromas of dried cherry and licorice open
to briary plum, toasty sage and cracked pepper flavors.

Picture perfect Sonoma Zin, said to be made from old-vine vineyards. It’s dry,
softly tannic and sweetly ripe in black raspberry, cherry and blackberry fruit, with a rich earthiness and even an umami touch of grilled bacon. Delicious for drinking now.
