February 21, 2014 - Light ruby red color very soft tannins with a short to medium finish. Light fruit also like cherries & plums. I did enjoy drinking it by itself.

July 12, 2013 - A decent daily drinker Zin. Light fruit on the nose. Medium body. Definitely benefits from an aerator or decanting. Smooth finish with a bit of anise and light oak. Good buy from WTSO.

April 4, 2013 - Drank after a bottle of Rioja with dinner of homemade Stromboli. Nice dark ruby-purple color. Mild fruit nose. Decanted but drank right away. It opened up nicely by the second glass. A very good everyday wine.
