Inky dark blackness in color. Full bodied. Loads of blueberry pie, some all spice and vanilla Thick and unctuous. Nice acidity. A little flabby when temp gets to ambient room temperature. Decent wine but better value out there.
Grilled chicken kabobs.

Enjoyed this, but perhaps not quite as much as expected (recalling from a tasting years ago, so....). This has nice red fruit, spice, nice intensity with significant acidity and even a somewhat tannic finish. Lots of nice elements, but also not coming together in a way that wows. Certainly a nice take on Zin (blend), but would hope for a tad more at this price point (especially Ontario price).

Very dark garnet. Cherry Cola and BBQ notes on the really delicious nose. Really rich with a body leaning towards the lighter side; ripe raspberries with a pleasing astringency dominate. There are also notes of smoked blackberry jam and boysenberries. The texture is phenomenal. Delicious.

Phenomenal zin blend that complimented smoked bbq beautifully. Integrated really well at this point vs some earlier notes from others.
