OMG! What a delightful surprise this wine was! Maroon brick color, nose of cedar, tar and red currant. Opens up with black cherries, dark fruit and violets. Spicy tannins still intact at the end for a medium acid finish. Served with a hearty red sauce pasta! Cin cin!

New world style for sure. Fruit forward with red berries and black raspberry on the front end. Medium bodied with a hint of tannins at the end. The last sip was the best. Paired well with a beef chili on a cold day. A word to the wise: decant or let it breathe for an hour. Will do that with my next bottle.

A good Zin but a thin Zin. Maybe a little more airtime? Paired with pasta and eggplant parmigiana. Red fruits dominate and it has very little ending
