This is a great value zin with aromas of raspberry and plum. The mouth has svelte red cherries and currants of liquorice with a nice peppery dry finish. Not a big overpowering Zin. 10% petite syrah in blend gives the wine slightly more flesh and elegance.

Boerne Wine Club - Syrah and Zinfandel (Scenic Loop Cafe): Surprisingly tight and focused for a Zin, I was later told this is 15% Cab so maybe that was it. A rather shy subdued nose of mocha and berries. Refined focused palate with a little grip, red berries, with oak/vanilla coming in and extending into a lengthy finish adding some wet stone. Just seemed slightly tight and shut down compared to the competition, but obviously a well made balanced Zin-blend. 89 My #7 Group #1

Lots of leather, tobacco and pepper. Extremely dry, like the Sahara.

Unbelievable when paired with the Tres Sabores Porque No grilling glaze.
