Great, highly enjoyable Zin. Big and complex but not clunky or overly fruity/sweet. Complex aroma and layered flavor. Will definantly rebuy to taste again in more detail.

On the nose, mostly plum and oak. On the palate, plum, oak, some prune flavors, a little spice. Medium bodied. Overall, very nice, a good food wine. Nothing exceptional, but well-made.

I agree with first post. I was surprised by the lack of the expected pepper hints in the flavor though- it was almost all fruit. Pleasant and quite quaffable though.

AD Co. Tasting w/Bloechl (Brown Jug-Upstairs): Huge nose of cedar, vanilla, and red berries. Loads of fruit, red currants and strawberries, attack the palate. Finishes with a great mouthfeel of velvety tannins and great acidity. Somewhat simple, yet quaffable with no flaws.

Consistent with my last note. Plum, oak, some leather and spice.

Agree with everything in "jjclips2" review, although I only found the nose to be moderate, not huge. Give 20-30 min decant
