Probably waited too long for this. It still had some fruit, but muted. Dark in color with some bricking. On the nose faint spices and cinnamon. On the palate dark berry fruit which has faded from previous bottle

Big fruit bomb of a wine. Nose is actually a little hot belying the wine itself which has no heat at this point after decanting. The palatenisnfruit, fruit, and more fruit. Lots of cherry and muddled raspberry. A little blueberry. Maybe a hint of cocoa and vanilla. Its a very tasty wine, but a bit unidimensional.

Not as fruity but still a very good wine. Smoother than in the past with no after taste Smoother tannins than before. Lots of cherry.

See previous review. Same fruit bomb. Can do better for same price, including other Rancho Zabaco Zins, or do just as good for 2/3 the price.

Excellent Zin of the Finesse style. Good fruit without being too hot. Lighter body compared to the average Zin.
