Since this was my last bottle, it naturally was a lot better than my next-to-last bottle. Shy nose, but very nice black fruit, with hints of tar and bramble. Fairly plush texture, good depth, so-so finish.

Tight on opening. Flat and fruity. Opened well over 3-4 hours and became much more enjoyable. Strong black fruit and spice with good amount of oak. Hard to match with food as it was pretty overwhelming.

I just had a sip of this as I wasn't drinking the night we opened it, but it was pretty good out of the bottle. As the night went on, everyone said it closed up tight. Too bad.

Pleasant, but nothing to write home about. Drink soon.

Very good structure to this wine with some tar, dark berry, and some earthy tones. Needed some air to open up, but overall enjoyable

Dark in color with strong earthy aromas. Flavors of coffee, leather, horse blanket. No fruit at all. Over the hill.

Not my style zin. Oak and black licorice. A well made wine, just not the peppery zin I've become acustomed to with other producers.
