This zin is medium purple in the glass with crimson edges. The nose shows roasted blue fruit (blueberry) with oak and charcuterie notes.
On the palate the wine is bright with flavors of baked cherry pie and blue berry. There's a prominent oak flavor as well as forest floor and lead pencil. Medium tannins and acidity provide a structure for a sleek, elegant, refined, and balanced wine. Absolutely delicious!

Very nice Zin and a good value on sale at $30. However, major headache later which only happens with lower quality wines. I will reserve judgement on this until I drink the next bottle.

Popped and poured. Fruit forward. Overt fruit and spice on the nose. Rounded on the mid-palate. Acidity comes through on the finish. Although the ABV is 16%, it does not drink or finish hot. Hartford delivers great QPR, once again.
