Wow! This stuff rocks. Has anyone tried it?
Similar to Montelena 94.
What a surprise.

Hi Bvampsuylr and welcome to the board. ZD is one of the premier winerys producing in Calif.I think I posted on the 93 last year. If you can get lucky and find the 97 it is one of the best wines ptoduced in that stellar vintage. WW

WW,
Thanks for the ref. I know 97 is a stellar year. I loaded up on plenty of the premier Cal cabs including Phelps Insignia,Chateau Montelena, Silver Oak (Napa and AV), but the 93 ZD for the price I paid for the reserve is right up there with the so called top cabs but with a budget price in an "off" year. Any other "sleepers" out there for the 98 crop?

Lots of super reserves that are released after the vintage. I particularly like the Ferrari-Carano Tresor, The Simi Reserves, and the Ch St. Jean Reserves. These three always seem to be in the top 10% in quality of every vintage. Add Arrowood Reserve and the Pride Claret and you can look forward to some super slurpin'. Must admit that the lil'darlins' have become a little pricy, but unlike the Buck-flint, I still feel they are worth the bucks. Some new 97's that are new to market are in my tasting posts earlier. WW
