Beautiful and expressive nose of berries and red licorice. Good mouthfill from beginning to finish, filled with strawberries, spices and mint. One outstanding flaw: heat is a little overwhelming. I wonder if it will go away over time. Good Zin!

Staff Favorites (Farpointe Cellar): This was an interesting wine. The first thing I noticed on the nose was a strong smell of chocolate covered cherries. This was followed by vanilla, spice, and just a touch of raspberry. The palate was very smooth, with lots of red fruit mixed with spice and oak. The tannins were firm and the finish was quite nice.

Fruity nse. Spicy and tannic at first, ending in a grapey finish. Slurpable, though not exceptional.
