PnP. Clear, very deep dark purple color. Proper Zin nose and taste. Med body, great balance, smooth/rounded drinking, med finish. Good drinking window, definately not over the top at this point. Pleasant wine, nothing off.

Raspberry, blackberry and eucalyptus on the nose. Sour cherries, blackberries, white pepper and a hint of mint on the palate. A restrained style for a California zin.

Decanted about three hours. An interesting nose of raspberry, pepper and some sweet barbecue sauce. On the palate, elegant blackberry, raspberry and some creamy oak, along with a distinct juniper note leading to a short-medium finish. The shortness of the finish forced me to mark this down, but still an enjoyable wine.

Raspberry, blackberries on the nose and palate. A bit of white pepper in the mouth. Very soft and elegant zin.
