Nice color, good first hit with medium red fruit, but little of the distinguishing "pepper" of a zin, and, contrary to another note here, I found very little finish. An okay food wine, but not a drink alone bottle

Paso Robles Zin. Cherry red, reflective, pretty wine in the glass. Nose has red berries, raspberry, strawberry, a bit of briar-bramble. It's a mid-weight wine, taste is red fruit, cherry, berry, and then some pepper. It has a long finish, and the peppery spice dominates the back end for me. Nice Zin, fruit forward, no prunes or raisins, well balanced, no noticable tannins. Mid $30 range in upstate NY.

good...but not great...felt a bit watery and lacking...maybe after the aglianico it wasn't the zin it was meant to be...

Really quite good, not that spicy, but bigger, richer and more velvety, with a nice finish. Went very well with our Tacos and rice pilaf.
