Very smooth silky rich & dark fruit jammy full bodied zin. NOT overly acidic or sour brambley like so many other zins I don't like. I liked it as an example of what can be done with this grape in Contra Costa county.

Fruit bomb now. Not much structure left, acid, tannin or pepper to stand up to the spicy beef tacos on Super Sunday. 2 years ago would have been better.

Excellent full bodied Zin. Plenty of spice and tons of dark fruit. Long finish.

Lots of oak and juicy black fruit. Oak adds a pleasing taste of vanilla.
