Excellent wine. Dark and inky color, and texture. Nose has huge plum, black fruit, white pepper, licorice, and sweet spices. Palate is balanced with bright acidity balanced against fantastic earthiness. Strong-but-fine tannins give this wine an excellent silky graphite texture. Delicious wine. Wish I had bought more!

Nice jammy nose with hints of pepper/spices. Dark fruit but not overly sweet, less fruit forward than Carol Shelton. The flavor begins mid palate followed by spiciness at the relatively long finish. Leaves an aftertaste of raisins.

Loads of cedar and blackberry on the nose. Deep, rich flavors of blackberry and vanilla on the palate. Smooth tannins, with a bit of acidity to finish. Drinking really well now, and a great pairing with thin-crust NY-style pizza.

nice balanced zin. Not overtly fruity or hot on the palate,but a bit of alcohol on the nose. Spicy, grippy finish. What a Zin should be.
