2016 vintage. Decanted and tasted immediately. Bigg. Heavy body. Phenomenal and smooth but tight and leaning on you like a predator creditor. Came back to those after 8 hours lounging in the decanter. Now, medium-heavy body with more spices than Marco Polo ever dreamed of. The SQN wines, both white (better than the reds) and red, are eff you wines. They are ridiculous and defy norms, values and expectations. This has 30+ years of top-notch drinking. Great for lamb, turkey, wild game and…yah…boring beef. 12.25.24. — 2 years ago

Fragrant and delicately fruity, gorgeous peachy-pink. What you drink when a fascist, racist sexual predator defeats the should-have-been-first-woman-president. — 10 years ago

Its a prettty prettty pretttty nice! Good tannin to match the plummy spice notes that have a good acidity from the c/f pretty stellar. Black abyss. Love, The firm tannin backing delivers but has finesse as well. It is gripping and very solid. Had years ahead of yet but I'm a predator. — 11 years ago

Like a predator taking in the scent of it's pray, I had been leering at this bottle all night. Then she finally opened up and spilled her juices and I had come to the hard realization that I won't so soon see her again. — 8 years ago

Nose has a really nice full fruit sent. The fruit that jumps out at you is raspberry, a very rich, juicy raspberry. There is also a mild oak backing mixed in with dark chocolate (The chocolate is easier to spot on the finish). The finish has a quality spice that lingers long after. I did expect a bit more spice from an old vine as old as these, but the long lasting spice makes up for it. The wine is very smooth from start to finish and sits right on the light to medium line. For anyone looking for a fruit forward Zin with limited oak and medium spice, this is a very good choice. A good comparison to this would be Predator Zin (which is excellent). — 11 years ago

Delectable identified this as Cab franc but actually it is the Predator Meritage-a real find. Smooth, rich, low tannins but nicely balanced acid with tons of dark fruit — 10 years ago

Jack at specs after we had predator. Like a mini predator. Not bitter. Or high alcohol. We will have to look up when we go to Carmel in September. — 11 years ago
