    Great vineyard. Big PJ fans as well.
    I bought a few bottles of 'The Illusionist' a while back. Think they were 2010's.
    Big wines. Great stuff.

    Really?  I thought it was too expensive for the taste.

    It was a good wine but I’d probably agree it’s a bit overpriced

    online price says $40!

    Any good bottle for $15 means you should buy a case!!!

    Yeah, the app I looked at said $40 to which is why I gobbled it up.  I was more or less planning on getting a case.

    2nd Zinfandel of the week. Not too shabby either, though not nearly on the same level but a great value here

    If you find a Heitz Zin pick that up.  It's pricey but a good wine to have on the shelf or for good company/occasions.  

    Edit: JUST realized it's an Alexander Valley wine!  There and Howell Mountain are my favs.

    Price point on the bottle?

    I think this one is extremely reasonable. Under $15 I think

    An Alexander Valley wine for $15?!?  Man that is good!  I need to remember that a Zin is not it's higher priced and coveted older brother Cabernet, lol!

    Yeah, you can't really beat it. By far from the best Zin I have had, but for that price, can't go wrong.

    I did end up buying a case of that Zin that I got a solid deal on.  Think I only have 2 left. I drink too much wine.

    Interesting. Don't think I've ever had a 100% Malvasia from Tuscany. How does it compare to Sangiovese?

    Sooo, I remember not liking this bottle all that much when we were there.  We ended up having lunch and a wine tasting plus another bottle or so, so was drinking a good bit.  Ended up shipping a bunch of wine home and apparently this ended up in it with a bunch of Chianti, though had planned on not getting it.  Has been sitting for a while, so not sure if that impacted it, but it was good.  It is definitely different, not like anything you would expect from Tuscany. Was real dark so expected it to be a real big wine but it wasn't.  Also expected it to be a lot sweeter than it was.  Now I wish I had more.
