  Served this wine for Thanksgiving as I have quite a few bold red wine lovers. This is a GREAT wine but personally, it has too much spice for the Thanksgiving table.

  Deep cherry and plum on the nose. Some Earth and bramble.
  
  Palate has some sweetness and dark cherry. Full bodied. Fruity. Easy finish but with a super slight alcoholic astringency.

  A ridiculously overripe, jammy, hot and out of balance Zin. Pretty much everything that Zin doesn't have to be, but often is in the wrong hands. With a chill jacket on it, it became drinkable, but this is a really over the top wine with poor balance. There are plenty of 15% ABV Zins that don't taste like this, but this one went out of its way to be jammy and almost porty. Was given to me as a gift. I'm not giving scores, but if I did, I'd mark this pretty low--I really don't get the other ratings.
