Wonderfully complex with raspberry nutmeg spice on the palate and a florraly lifted root beer nose. This didn't possess a hint of the dreaded jamminess associated with a lot of Zins but was very light on it's feet while remaining brooding and full of life.

A pretty clear dark red. Aromas of light cloves & nutmeg. Flavors of berries (can't isolate to any specific) with cherries on the medium finish.
