This is an absolutely delicious zin! Even with only 15 minutes of decanting, this full and complex zin truly hit the mark. Sweet finish that is jammy, with hints of strawberry and blackberry.

Paired with venison tenderloin (ginger beer/apple cider vinegar/smoked paprika/bay leaves/garlic & herb marinade); served with roasted vegetables

Great legs, nose of blackberry and plums; nice spice on the back of the palate with a hint of raspberry and cinnamon; smooth finish. A great wine that has aged nicely.

Oak and spice, slightly dry but still full and flavorful. No fruit, but delicious nonetheless. Possibly past its prime but still a delightful drink!

The cork disintegrated, so we HAD (haha) to drink it...
