Poured about 20 minutes after opening. Should have waited an hour or so, as the second glass was better than the first. Good berry taste and silky feel. Noticeable high alcohol content at 14.5%, but not enough to overpower the taste. Overall very good. I'd buy it again. Better than the regular Montevina Zin.

Vibrant ruby/garnet color with aromas of raspberry compote, nutmeg, and a hint of cloves. Bursting with rich, red, brambly fruits, notes of cacao, and a nice finish with elements of cracked pepper and bell pepper. Bright acidity with well integrated, rustic tannins. Light on the palate. Very charming and approachable. Excellent QPR.

Consistent with prior experience--just not much there.

Typical zin that went well with steak. Fruity smell and taste with dark fruits. Some chokolate. Light but good with food.

Dark crimson colour. Cherry and smoke on the pallet. Medium smooth finish.
