Medium to full body. The wine has calmed down since the first time I had this two years ago. Dark cherry and blackberry flavors with a mineral edge to it. Moderate length finish. I usually prefer Mazzocco zins with a few years on them to smooth out, but I seem to have missed my window. Still drinking well but starting fade.

Big nose of black fruit. Full body and very smooth. More dark fruit in the palate. Intense all the way but not over the top. Black pepper comes in on the finish. Alcohol is listed at 16.2 but the wine shows no heat.

Typical rich and tasty Mazzocco zin - hedonistic fruity elements but in nice balance.
