Dark blackish garnet colored, full bodied. big forward concentrated brambly rich super ripe black berry fruits with tones of ripe raisin, fig and creosote and hints of black pepper. This wine begs for spicy pasta, pizza, barbecue or dark chocolate or the like to offset the robust forward fruits. The girls love this style but I personally find it almost 'over to top'.

15 yr old zin from 3L bottle. Fantastic fruit, still very young. Continued to evolve throughout the evening - it just kept getting better!

This was a great zin. Fresh, bright, dark fruit nose. Not hot, but full with nice hint of oak behind the fruit.
