  Deep mahogany center to dark brick edge. Smelled of port and raise a when opened. 1-1/2 hr decant for sediment and cork pieces. Rich. A bit over ripe but very nice weekday zin. Good balance and some tannin remaining. Great choice if you like them on the ripe side.

  Wow was pleasantly surprised by this "Power Buy" from the NH state liquor store. Seems like a small estate grown and bottled wine and the care and pride show in a well crafted wine. Sometimes it's not about the high scores or hype but just good old fashion dedication to a quality winemaking.

  Nothing special, just an OK zin on the lower end of the price range. Not overly jammy. Didn't turn sour after being open for a few hours this time compared to the one a year ago.

  I'm not a huge zin drinker but this bottle was very worthwhile. Traditional styled. Fruity. Medium bodied. Alcohol in check. Strawberry. Blood orange. Raspberyy. No chunky thick fruit bomb at all. Good.

  Started out better but turned downhill after about three hours open.
