Best one so far! Unfortunately, my last bottle. Should have held off, but drinking very well now.

Just not getting these. My 5th bottle, decanted for hours, and still nothing.

Need to try decanting next time. PnP was muted and boring.

complex mixed berry, evolving over three nights, starting with more licorice, and finishing sweeter and smoother than it started. I don't notice the alcohol; plenty of stuffing to hold further.

Very fine - the '11 remains an all-time favorite OHR for me.

Plum, nectarine, black berries, with some toasted smoky finish. Typical zin nose, with some structure and concentration like right-bank bordeaux dominated by merlot. Unique in its silky and feathery round mouthfeel, but expected more complex voluptuous zin fruit. At $40, this is not what I wanted from zin.

Hmm. Wasn't wowed by this as some others were. Just seemed kind of muted, like maybe the oak was getting in the way of the fruit, though not sure about that. I enjoyed the 2011 Bambino quite a bit more.

great nose of berry and clean earth; medium body; red and black raspberry with notable complexity; earth, spice; bright acidity; on day 3, there is a some heat as the fruit fades. One of my fave zins this year.

My favorite Old hill of a recent memory, not as jammy and high octane as previous vintages. Spicy and tart red fruits. Very nice wine!

Deep, focused and penetrating. Great flavor profile.

Medium dark ruby. 14.8% alcohol. Old Hill delivers as true an old vine field blend as exists anywhere - over two dozen varieties are represented here. The wine is already savory, deep, intense and wonderfully complex, but will only improve over the next 3-6 years.

Drank this wine over 3 nights. It opened up further each night and was very sad once gone. Especially since I bought the last 2 bottles in the state (yes I checked the Utah wine network). The balance, full-flavor and long-finsh just kept getting better. One of the best Zin's I've ever tasted.
