This is a big Zin. Deep color, heavy fruit nose but also character and intrigue - I get whiffs of licorice, plum, chocolate covered cherry. On palate: blackberry, tobacco, plummy, blueberry. The spice and white pepper comes on strong at the back. Some time has given the tannin a chance to chill and boy is this a smooth wine. Loving it with salame and fresh herb pizza.

Big Zin in a very interesting way. Jammy earth, hint of tobacco, lots of plum type fruit. A little port-like in the nose. Some spice, overall pretty complex for Zin. Has the right profile, but then has more too, well made wine.

Drinking very well right now. This is a Zin with all the dimensions. Seems like the whole berry is in there -- dusky blackberry, some blueberry a bit of anise and other spice on the finish. No jamminess or blending evident. Just an authentic, complex zin that also goes well with food.
