  Unusually light color for a Zin - watery ruby color. A little thin tasting as well - not a typical full-bodied syrupy Zin. Typical aromas and flavors of blackberry, black cherry, bramble, pepper. Also smoky oak. The restaurant served this way too warm, which heightened the alcohol level and made it taste thinner. I initially didn't care for it because of the heat and harsh oaky flavor. But after cooling a bit and tasting it some more, it grew on me a bit. I like the lighter body.

  Interesting zin. A little hot and unbalanced, but with a really unique smoky, bramble flavor. I don't think I have ever had that flavor profile in a zin.

  Jammy. Fairly simple, but big and bold with gobs of fruit.
