  This Zin had gone a little long in the tooth, but I doubt it had ever been much to write about. Basics on the nose, lighter and just a hint of bramble, without much on the finish

  Nice california zin. Has an interesting licorice like finish. Great with lasagna.
  
  2nd tasting edit:
  Had this again and the oak and alcohol gave me a massive headache. A little too heavy, even for a zin.

  The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are fast. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry. The body is medium with a hint of pepper. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes short. Good zin for the price!

  2nd bottle of night @ WA Frost in St. Paul.
  They were sold out of the Turley Old Vines and we wanted a zin, so this was the substitute by default. It was surprisingly drinkable with pleasant spice notes, lacking the syrupy sweetness and jam I dislike in zin. So this might not be typical zin, but good enough for me.
