Very pleasant zin, ripe fruit,raisins and chocolate stood out for me. I enjoyed it with extra sharp cheddar. My wife Enjoyed it as well. Going to buy more. Fantastic for under 20 dollars!

A huge beast, drifting into late middle age. Almost port-like (and portly), with raisin, chocolate, toffee notes under the core of raspberry jam. Floral top notes provide some counterbalance, and the pleasantly citric acidity keeps this from being treacly and suggests it still has a few more years before turning geriatric. Very good, although it's tough to imagine what food you might pair it with, except perhaps a ribeye doused in Hershey's chocolate syrup.

Rosenblum Cellars (Tasting room in Healdsburg): Lots of fruit, somewhat better balanced than other zins by this producer but still with a lot of heat and very forward and high in alcohol.
