Over-extracted, tastes of oak and high alcohol - much higher than the 14.5% listed on bottle. Underlying that, there's some good zin brambly fruit, persistent strawberry, strawberry jam, decent acid, and some cinnamon and black pepper. A persistent finish that I find totally dry... not the worst zin as there's some good fruit underlying, but would be better with a lighter touch.

Well balanced and more earthy than the typical fruit bomb zin's.

Very nice but has to be drunk on the cool side at 60-62. Was great then but as it came up to room temp (69) started to get to sweet.
