  Unusual, yet tasty Zin. Found spice notes, but little pepper. Dark plum was very forward, not at all alcoholic. Also found some black currant. Finished nicely without being puckery. IE light to medium tannins. Did take about 30 min or more to open up.

  Losing some fruit with age. Earthier with more pronounced spice notes. Mildly tannic with medium finish. Still pleasant but it faded by Day 3 when stored with Vacu-vin.

  Surprised how well this has aged in the cellar. Ruby red with a slight oxidized rim. Well integrated and fine tannins. Would pair nicely with any Italian meal.

  Hi toned red fruit. A bit on the jammy side, but not an alc bomb like many paso zins these days. Good acid to keep things in check. Not much weight on the mid palate and a short plus finish.
