This is beyond its prime, but got a little better the longer it was opened. Slightly oxidized in color, the nose was OK and had a little cherry coming off of it. I kept half of the bottle for tomorrow and hoping it will settle down a bit. Very hot and peppery, and had sparkles on the palate - only a medium finish. Was expecting more, but next time won't hold the Zins as long.

lots of big dark cherry flavor and minerals. Very smooth on the palate.

Very nice wine went wonderful with steaks at JaK's grill in Seattle. Earthy, yet nice suttle fruit. Cherry flavors came out.
