Dark garnet red in the glass, pie cherries on the nose, slight sweetness on the initial taste with pepper and spice on the back end. Mild tannins and little acidity with a brief tail of Bing Cherries (again) before the short, slightly pipe tobacco finish. I like this wine and find it interesting, complex enough, and enjoyable to drink.

Always a great value...I thought this one would be a bit long in the tooth, but it was a nice smooth bottle of red. At this point, I can't really make out the components of the blend, but the cool climate makes that a bit tricky even with a fresh bottle.

This is a really nice red blend from Mendocino. Mainly zin with some syrah and pinot. This wine is very well balanced with medium tannins, dark red cherry, a touch of smoke and a good bit of acidity on the back end.
