Well this was a cellar surprise, thought I was pulling a dumper but turned out to beautifully light almost a Pinot. It gained a little weight with air but this had no sign of fatigue, another bottle that disappeared way too fast.

Medium-deep ruby. Pronounced nose of cherry, plum, a red and black fruit salad. Very juicy (jammy), big zin with medium dusty tannins, good medium acidity, and a medium-to-long mouth-coating finish. Not my style of zin.

Full bodied with plenty of dark berry notes. Seems more polished and structured than my last (unscored) memory of this wine. The back palate hints at certain syrahs and the finish is rich.

Seemed pruney on the nose. Did not improve on day two.

Nice Zin - bold fruit and medium tannins. Goes well with burgers, pizza and similar foods.
