Purchased from Laura Zahtila (Now Laura Michael) Tasting Room, $55
Aaron: We held this bottle for a while and it was worth it. The fruity nose was mellow and pleasant, featuring tobacco leaves and bark with light mushrooms growing. The flavor was very fruit forward with blackberries dipped in tar and molasses – as expected from a napa zin. Some rum raisins and a hint of cinnamon made the finish complex and enjoyable. 91 points
Teri: Aaron and I purchased the bottle over 5 years ago and have let it sit until now; the results were worth it. I smell juicy blackberries and red cherries on the nose. Very smooth tannins with intense flavors of cocoa, raspberry, plum, and tobacco. Rich and delicious but you probably want to enjoy it with food. 92 points
