Splash decant ... Bright and fresh. Cherry and cranberry, tart fruit to open; tannins still grippy, but not intrusive. Sharp acid pop and a hint of game. Simple but elegant, Zin. Not at all heavy or cloying. Very food friendly and a very good QPR at >$20.

Ok, but not much character or interest - drank like a run of the mill $17 zin. Either flawed, travel shocked, or past it's peak. 88 or 89 if I had to give a score.
