2008 tasting - A dark red, this Zinfandel has a jammy, young bouquet with a strong exhibition of the Dry Creek Valley terroir. The young flavor is excellent with a tart, short finish.

2009 tasting - A semi-transparent red, this Dry Creek Zin has a fruity bouquet accompanied by a dry, chewy flavor with prune hints and an extremely chewy aftertaste. I don't think it's peaked yet.
