Opened 3 hours ahead with 1.5 hour decant. Black raspberry and licorice. Macerated cherries and cherry preserves. Black pepper. Big fruit, but significant balancing acidity produces a lightness you wouldn’t expect. Lovely, deep, and enjoyable. Worked with Jambalaya. An hour later... intense blueberries on the nose. Still amazingly light for the alcohol.

Beautiful wine. Dark red berries and spice on the nose. Spice and pepper on the finish. Medium tannins. High acidity. Long finish that dries your mouth. Great with steak and just to enjoy on its own.

Lighter than most big Turley Zins. Very drinkable.

Spicy with good acidity, but does not have the wow or appeal factor.
