A nose of black cherry and spice, dark garnet in color. A full bodied Zin, found it a bit tannic, with black and red fruits, licorice, and pepper spice. Was disappointed considering the hype of 100 year old vines vs. this wineries 50 and 10 year old versions, got it on clearance.

Nice balanced zin; fruit is somewhat restrained for DryCreek, better as a food wine vs Zin quaffer; more cherry than brambles...
