Good fruit expression of cherry & raspberry. Some light oak tannin and a really lovely soft acidity. Hard to believe it's 15.3%. Super food wine right now. As much as I like it, it's not a great representative of a Zin. Just doesn't have the oomph in the foundation.

Served with a slab of Costco ribs - which were quite tasty with good spice, I must say! The zin was very light, with lots of crisp cherry, floral aromatics and modest acid. Medium finish and enough sweetness to match the spice of the meal. Really good.

A lovely expression of Zin, and still at peak with a few years left. Red fruits of strawberry and cherry. Very smooth but with just the right level of acidity. Some spice, sweet Oak. Long finish. A very nice value wine.

Drank on Dec 26 2021 at lunch time. Well kept. Good taste. Good rating for a Papapietro.

Light bodied and bright with ripe red cherry, floral overtones and solid acid. Served with Chicago style dry rub ribs. Perfect complement.
