2004 Javadi

This is a really tasty, spicy wine with hints of coffee, cigar and strawberry-tasting wine.

2005 Cellar 8 Cabernet Savignon

Very full, mouthy, biting and chocolately. Has a heavy, chunky feel in your mouth, but is fairly smooth going down.

2005 Tumbling Tractor Zinfandel
(2008-05-12 06:01:37 UTC) buddy icon 2005 Tumbling Tractor Zinfandel 90/100

Fruity and deep, strong strawberry presence and a light, though pleasant, nose. A bit of spice, but a decent finish.

Full-bodied bouquet, spicy bite and flavor with a layer texture; sprucey and velvety.
