This wine was a hit at a family dinner we had. I thought it had a lot of rhone characteristics. The wine was smooth and I consider it to be a great food wine.

A well made zin that tends toward elegance rather than fruit forward power. Very smooth, and probably perfectly aged and ready to drink. Very nice touch with the oak (tasted more than a few over oaked zins lately). The brambly fruit is more roasted than fresh. There is an interesting earthiness. Adequate, but not overpowering acid. Nice integration. Not particularly intense or concentrated, kind of undersatated, would like to try another bottle.

Picking up cherry as the most prominent fruit. OK for every day.

Pretty good, not very jammy, but fruity enough for me. A fairly smooth drinker.
