The wines were a mix of Estate and Napa grapes, all 100% Zinfandel.
Notes are mine, and sometimes I disagreed with the group ranking.
- 1987 Estate Reserve (13.5%): group rank 1; cedar-box nose, still has good tannic structure and a long finish.
- 1984 Estate Reserve (13.5%): group rank 3; rich and brambly.
- 1985 Napa (13.5%): group rank 7; seemed off to me, with a musty mocha character.
- 1983 Estate Reserve (13.5%): group rank 5; good minerality and some typical Zinfandel raisins.
- 1985 Estate Reserve (13.5%): group rank 6; some bottle-stink, which diminished with time.
- 1982 Estate Reserve (13.5%): group rank 2; some bottle-stink at first.
- 1987 Napa (13.5%): group rank 4; seemed to be drying out early, but still rewarding.
