Reasonably well made wine, but not to my taste. Sharp edges everywhere! Rather austere and well-mannered despite the 14.9% alcohol. Raspberry brambles on the nose and mouth. Very nice mouthfeel, long finish. Deeper inspection of the palate reveals a soft plum core with jangly, brambly acidity all around it. I think it's just starting to fade, so time to drink these up.

Not my favorite style, but very well made. Good fruit and a little alcohol on the nose -- rich, extracted fruit on the palate. Reasonably well balanced.

Good solid zin. Drinking well now. Fruit is present, with a nice well rounded finish. A bit hot though.

Delicious. This seamless wine has a lovely fruit component and a stirring aftertaste. Well-made and a bargain.
