7 seconds??? Who is this fwWNZOLc7aEKE8???
Edit: At only 112 cases, this will surely sell out. Don’t wait till morning.
Dang it!!! Teach me to take the time to go for 2 sets instead of 1 set. No first sucker this time (although I’m surprised PetiteSirah didn’t get it either!) 
Well, I could be reading a good book - finishing one, to be precise - but here I am to answer your questions, technical and trollish!
Oh, and Wine Woot wisely rejected my first Vintners Voicemail . . . I can send it as an MP3 to anyone interested. These guys helped:
Two very short videos (Pink and Brown Zeppelin AVI, respectively) at http://www.youtube.com/stillmanbrown
Oh yeah - clone 3 petite sirah, medium/heavy toast AO and HO, about 40% new. Some of the six barrels made were half barrels. Denser than the last Black Zeppelin, though not unrelated.

Well, WW doesn’t get all 112 cases, though I will likely have to cough up more than half. That’s a marketing expression, not a reaction to guzzling two bottles in five minutes.
Stillman. In for 3. Tasted this courtesy of you and PS after D&D. Can you throw down some info on aging and what to expect long term with this wine?
Understood. Thats why I know it will sell out!
So is this a wine you should enjoy on a special occasion, or is this the kind of wine you could have any ordinary day?

How do the Standard Black Zeppelin and the Hames Valley Black Zeppelin differ in taste?
That appears to be the standard Black Zeppelin and not the Hames which is the current offering.
In for 2!

Your link is not the same wine. This is the Hames Valley. See Cesare’s link above.
I’m trying to stay out of the sun, and party with a lot of young people. Tannic structure is ‘moderate’ and part fruit, part oak - that said, it was in barrel almost two years so it did get a chance to open and soften before bottling. If I only had two bottles I’d open one soon and the other in 5 years.
Point taken … could find no notes on the Hames vineyard specifically.
I’m still wary.
Agreed I’m also wondering on the difference and if Hames Valley contributes fruit to the standard and if not why not?
The Monterey was softer and bottled younger, I remember a commenter remarking on young vinuous/musty aromas that blew off, it was more blueberry with lighter tannins. This Hames Valley is bigger, denser blackberry/blueberry, and doesn’t smell like compost.
