Consistent with the last bottle, there is a harsh, somewhat bitter/chemically taste to this wine that overrides the other aspects below and significantly detracts from the experience. I obviously don't remember this from the winery so maybe we got bottles from a bad case. Otherwise: muted nose of blueberry. Candied cherry, verging on cough syrup on the palate with well-integrated tannins. A little hot overall and not complex but perfectly reasonable for the price except for the flaw noted above.

Nice middleweight Zin -- Softening tannin, OK acid, moderate fruit and nice nose.

Nose is earthy, foresty, blackberry and cinnamon. Lots of black fruit on the palate, juicy finish. Very good.
