Lush full red with some earthiness but great fruit of cherry, blackberry with a bit of pepper. Long finish with complexity that keeps you coming back for more.

Great style Zin without all the alcohol that is typical of many Zins. Fruit forward with soft tannins. Nose of plums and strawberries, palate the same. Medium length finish.
