Dark purple. Rich and thick with jammy aromas of fig, plum, and blackberry. Picks up black pepper near the finish. Needs food. No danger of this losing its punch anytime soon.

Unpleasant, oxidized flavor upon opening. After 30 mins open, oxidation went away and wine opened up nicely. Dark fruit and earth on nose. Dark berries, fig and smoke on palate. Long finish with soft tannins. Would drink in next year or two. Overall, decent zin but doesn't hold up to their rockpile zins

Reminds me of Dashe, but with a bit more oak applied. So a touch more "dry". Toasty and sweet, easy and soft, fat and full. Very fat. Well, its not going to dissapoint. Nate say its got some tannins, and I would agree with that, towards the back. I gotta think this has some RS.
