    April 16, 2024 - Opaque, Ruby red, color in long thin legs
    Fruit, floral
    Yummy, fruit, oak?
    Dry
    Long, pleasant

    Needs to breathe to open up.
    i might consider buying a few bottles to cellar.

    April 13, 2024 - Didn’t realize it was a Zin/Red blend. Makes much more sense now with its flavor profile. Tasty and big enough to pair with meats and cheeses or drink on its own.

  • Raizzon Does not like this wine: 75 points

    March 30, 2024 - Deep purple. Intense black and blue fruit aromas, vanilla and oak spices. heavy body, no additional complexity , very hot. The alcohol is completely unbalanced. There are basic 17% abv Amarone's with more finesse. Medium finish. This drinks like a wine based cocktail. Terrible QPR, there are far better zins for half the price.

    February 21, 2024 - Tastes manufactured, like a $12 grocery store Zin from a mediocre corporate producer. Is that oak chips I taste on the back end? Catastrophic QPR. 86 points is a gift rating for this pathetic wine.

    January 21, 2024 - Still a very young wine, I’m certain over the next 2-4 years it will only improve…much to look forward to!!!

    Cheers!!!
