This is an impressively delicious and versatile wine. Had a glass before dinner with aromas and taste of cherry, raspberry with underlying earth tones. Then enjoyed with a rib eye. Wow! The steak brought out flavors of mushroom with a loamy forest floor. Afterwards, paired it with a Roquefort. The saltiness of the cheese gave the wine a refreshingly piney taste added to the flavors above. So happy of I have another bottle.

Have to agree with previous notes. This wine is beautifully balanced. Can a Zin be elegant? This is. The fruit, spice and earth flavors are so well integrated.

Classy and elegant, hints of citrus with a smooth buttery finish. Was the perfect complement to boiled lobster. Lucky I have one more bottle. This should even get better over the next three years. Will hold until the next lobster surfaces.
