Pale to medium tawney. Aromas of dark red fruits, maybe some black as well, damp earth, eucalyptus, and crushed rocks. Medium to medium(+) body, medium acid and finish, with flavors of stewed black cherries and plums, some sugar content and alcohol. While certainly past prime, this was never my particular cup of wine, and all three bottles have come across extracted and overdone.

Jammy bramble fruit bomb with lots of spice/cocoa and (strangely) high alcohol (15.5) without much heat. Totally mature: drink it up. Yummy with grape-tomato/mint/ricotta pasta.

I like the jammy Zin now and then... but this crossed the line a little too much. Not horrible and for $14- not a horrible buy.
