brick and ruby color; blackberry and black raspberry nose with notes of cinnamon and plum. Very well-balanced acid/fruit at it's peak. Black fruit, herbs, earth and sweet spice notes.

Ruby red and clear, wine has a nice medium body and a big youthful nose of raspberries and chocolate. Some jamminess but not over the top for a zin. Moderate alcohal on the nose. Wine has no notable RS or tannins and really finishes smoothly. On the palate I get the same notes as the nose with some minor tartness. Overall it's a really nice zin that I wish I had a case of but this one bottle will have to suffice.

Cherry nose with oak and vanilla. Pretty standard zin nose. The oak really stands out in a pleasant way and creates almost smoky notes, almost black licorice smells. Pretty heavy in weight, the wine has a slightly grippy mouth feel. Red fruits, transitioning to pomegranate, slight spice. Pleasurable acid profile leaves the mouth feeling slightly gritty.

Bright ruby-garnet. Strawberry jam, cinnamon, and toast on the nose. Medium bodied, cranberries, tart black cherries, pepper, soft tannins, tobacco, and a slightly sweet medium length finish. A nice, friendly zin that's well worth the price.

Similar to last time. Lots of fresh red fruit, friendly tannins, sage, and a medium plus finish. Juicy and delicious.

Red fruit with a touch of spice, cork was dark and there was a tiny bit of fine sediment in last glass.

Cherry and fig on the nose. Nice balance of alcohol, fruit with a bit of tannins. Good finish with a bit of raisin.
