Bought three different zins/zin blends from CH and my wife and I both liked this one best. Ample fruit without being over the top sweet and has enough spice to add some interest. A solid buy for $12.

A nose of dark fruits and spices, dark garnet in color. A medium bodied Zin, with blackberry, plum, glycerin, finishes with Asian spices, interesting and a bit different Zin. A good QPR. www.winelx.com

Decanted 4 hours. Smoke on the nose, sweet cherry on the tongue. Very smooth, non existent tannin. Had with spicy food which brought out pepper in the wine. Definitely need to filter...a lot of sediment at the end.

decanted the wine for ~ 30 minutes. It tasted like they just pulled it from the barrel, young and fumy. Poured it back into the bottle and tried a day later. Strong fruit, cherry and raspberry jam with a touch of pepper on the back.

Drank with venturi aerator and really expanded the wine. Initial spice with berry/fruit finish and medium tannin.

A bit tight almost harsh, this was tasted with two other CH zins and was least favorite. (our winner was lot 487 zin field blend)
