Matt Perlman 
A beautiful wine well past the two decade mark. 80/20 blend of zin and petite Syrah. Nose has raspberry, vanilla, cedar, dried leaves and a touch of heat. Texture is silky on the attack, with glycerol and still a bit of grip on the back end. Richness abounds, with ripe syrupy cherries and raspberry and chocolate, with subtle American oak, and the whole package somehow glides rather than trudges. Wears its ~15% alcohol well.

Aromas of marzipan, figs and tawny port. Very port-like flavors minus one the sweetness.
