This bottle was an ebay bottle. I bought it as part of a batch of bottles from one seller. Originally I was only interested in the Turley Zins this seller offered, but this bottle was so cheap that I took it in addition (3.50 € / approx. 4.60 $). To get the bottle was a little bit difficult. Somewhat chaotic the seller sent the whole packet first to the wrong address. So it took in the end nearly three weeks for it to reach my cellar and during these weeks the wines were most on travel. In a nutshell: I didn't expect something from this bottle. Big mistake!
One evening a good friend and I were still a little bit thirsty. In contradiction to my wife this friend also likes Zins and so my wife didn't complain when we opened it. Plastic cork

The wine is absolutely on the top. Indeed I believe you must be very lucky to get another bottle of this quality. If you want to criticize something then the fact that this wine is not a typical Zin. If you offer a blind tasting with California Cabs from the nineties, integrate this wine as a pirate. Integrate it in a BBQ dinner with a little bit more sweet sauce.
