It's rare that a Zin has this much structure and finesse. Offers appealing aromas of plum, pepper and tobacco, with focused, layered wild berry, pencil lead and sage flavors. A hint of rusticity on the tannins suggests that there's no hurry to drink. Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Charbono and Grenache. Best from 2009 through 2012. 32,000 cases made. –JL, May 31st 2008 Issue of The Wine Spectator
A Staff Selection for it's over-the-top style. A big full bodied Red, heavily extracted, with bold fruit characteristics throughout and noticable new oak aging. We are big fans of Oren Swift's founder/winemaker David Phinney. - Nick's Staff
The 2006 blends the lush berry flavors of Zinfandel(51%), the power and concentration of Cabernet Sauvignon (23%), the dark black fruit of Syrah (12%), the intensity and structure of Petit Sirah (6%), the flesh of Charbono (6%) and a hint of Grenache (2%) - all combined for a decadent wine with great complexity. - Winery Notes
