Very fruit forward with a bit of heat. Brambly blackberry, chocolate, licorice, lush mouthfeel and a burn on the finish, this wine provides pleasure without much complexity.

2nd bottle I've had of this wine. Decanted this time. Not as dark in color as some zins. 15.7% alcohol but not overly hot. Great fruit scent and taste. Not overly ripe like some Paso zins I've had recently. Good balance. Would like to taste side by side with Opolo's Mountain and Reserve Zins. Something to add to my list! Did not throw as much sendiment as some Opolo wines. Solid wine.
