This was the last Zin served at a Zin wine tasting at Cafe Vino in Ft. Collins. Inky appearance, little more so than normal for a Zin. Nose was a cross between a wonderful grilled steak and a bowl of dark cherries. Taste was very fruit forward, tasted that steak a tad, as well as the cherries and a touch of cedar. Medium finish. Robust due to being fruit forward, but maybe lacking the balance, depth and normal Zin taste compared to other Zins in that price range (just under $20). It is the same style as the Michael-David Sixth Sense Syrah without the depth and complexity.

rich, sweet and not noticeable tannins. Big plum and chocolate flavors, pretty basic stuff, but not offensive. My wife prefers this type of wine on Tues night. Will keep a bottle or 2 around for her.
