A very well made and balanced wine in all of its primary colors. A somewhat reticent nose of fresh red fruit. A medium body with generous fruit, and a clean, moderately long finish with a saline note. This wine shows more restraint than the Chiles Valley zin, and reins in the alcoholic heat, sugar , glycerin and even the fruit so none are over the top - making this a very food friendly wine. From a magnum with an hour of air, could have waited longer for more complexity, but was thoroughly enjoyed by all today at our steak dinner.

Drank over two days. Great blend, fruity, long finish. Just as good, if not better, on day two. Enjoying with cigar on deck.
